Does anyone know where to access deleted files and I don't mean from the recycle bin I mean files emptied from the recycle bin. Help is appreciated and rep will be given.

I don't think it's possible.

Once you delete a file from the Recycling Bin it has been erased forever, and it is no longer present on the Hard Drive. Luckily for you this is not true, you see when you click empty recycle bin, windows does not actually delete the files, Those commands just generally delete a file's name from the directory so it won't show up when the files are listed. But the information itself can live on until it is overwritten by new files. Therefore the file has not actually been deleted, instead the space that it occupied has been freed up and listed as re-use space. Now until that file is overwritten by new data your file is still there and can be retrieved.

The first thing you should do if you want to get your files back is to stop downloading or installing any new data on the hard drive. The reason being, that once you install new programs or download new data onto the Drive it could use up the space created by your deleted file and it will be a lot harder to recover. Having more available space on your hard drive will increase your chances of recovery, as Windows avoids using up space that has recently been freed; therefore if you have plenty of room on your hard drive it will use that before it touches the space from the deleted file. Although I still strongly recommend you act as soon as possible and do not download any new material to your hard drive, that way you will most certainly have your deleted files back.

If you have emptied your files from the recycle bin, don't panic! With the right Data Recovery Tool you should have your Files Back in no time.

as STE said, you can recover the files as long as they have not been written over. i think that -maybe- system restore can do this, as long as the files have not been written over

Np.

@ Ultralomanic - I don't think system restore would actually work. But I'm not 100% sure.
