Kind of like what the FBI does when they take your PC away....I had my Warrior collectors site and it was taken down cause someone complained :7: but I had all my pics of all of the stuff that I had found thru out the years..my wife deleted everything :14: is there anyway to get those back? how far back can you go back? thanx guys
Do a system restore.
I hadn't touched my PC since I got my laptop and the last possible restore time is 8 months ago, she deleted them like 2 years ago..thanx man :embarassed:Quote:

The more stuff you put on your drive since it was deleted, the more chance you have of that free space being utilized and the file being overwritten enough to be unrecoverable. I have had some success in the past using Norton's disk utilities to recover deleted files, but not a whole lot. And that was many many moons ago. I don't know what software is out there anymore. I keep so many backups of my files that I haven't had to rely on retrieval software for maybe 10-15 years. Maybe google file recovery software and see what's out there. Good luck D.
You will probably not be able to access files deleted 2 years ago. Unless you haven't used the computer much since thenQuote:

years after i decided to abandon my site, i found images on the wayback machine.
unfortunately I searched yours and only found text
ultimatewarriorcollection on wayback
Not fully true. In some cases I was able to get pics back on peoples pc's going back as far as 3-4 years prior.Quote:

i had to lose data twice before i dedicated an external hard drive to Time Machine back up.
i lost school work, personal files, video clips and lots of irreplaceable photos.
let one loss be your number.
PS - don't get false hopes on a system restore. it is uncommon and unlikely (unless, as stated you didn't use the computer much)
