MelissaZeith Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 There is a folder I need to get back. I sent it to the recycle bin and emptied it already. I remember one time reading that doing a reset of the computer to an earlier date (so that those folders would be back in bin) isn't a good thing to do. So I wanted to ask YOU what options I have to get this folder back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You are correct. Doing a restore to a previous version doesn't work that well, especially when trying to recover files and folders What version of Windows are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Oh boy. Have you tried right clicking the Recycle Bin and select restore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 See if that works. You might get lucky. If it doesn't, try installing and running Recuva: https://www.piriform.com/recuva There is a free version and a paid version. Try the free, but I'm sure you can upgrade and pony up the $25 to get the paid version. In my experience, sometimes it's worth using paid versions of software.

MelissaZeith Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Restore is not an option when right clicking on icon. I am going to try the link you have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaZeith Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I just wanted to respond again for one to say thank you, and for two to let you and others know reading this, that the link software link worked for me. I was able to retrieve the files that I emptied out of my recycle bin. I was able to use the free version of the software. Thank you again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
