    Please help. I just fucked up.

    Not like it is the end of the world or anything....BUT...I just deleted a 6.5GB file that I would really like to have kept. When the warning came up telling me it was too big for the recycle bin and asked if I was sure, I hit yes like a fucking idiot. Right about then I caught the file name and noticed my error.

    Is there a way that I can recover this file?

          dos variations used to have the undelete command, it might still work in xp. it will bring back the file with a funny name, but you can obviously tell which 6.5 gb file is which, i would think.


          if that doesn't work, you can always send it out to a data recovery center, if you want to spend the $$

                  It is an untagged video I just edited. I have the full tagged version and I can take some time to re-edit it if I need to. Just looking for a simple fix.

                  I will check the suggestions above. Thanks.

                                  are you on XP?

                                  If so you can use the system restore program to roll your computer back to yesterday and recover your file.

                                              Open your DOS Window

                                              Go to the drive the file was on

                                              Ex's to try out:

                                              C:\>undel filename.ext

                                              C:\>undel filename.*

                                              C:\>undel *.ext

                                              C:\>undel *.*

                                              One of them should find it. Use the above order to keep 'finds' down to a minimum. Each step should produce more and take more time, esp. the *.*

                                                  I miss the simplicity of DOS and the undelete command.. I remember one time though, my ex deleted the entire root directory (undelete with it), fortunately we were already online he had to beg for hours for someone to send him undelete.. they made him beg hard and laughed their asses off at him :P (I did too). HOpefully you can recover your file, Aaron

                                                      The only way to delete a file is delte it and fill the HArddrives with 0's basically rewriting every sector on the HArddisk. As you haven't done this you will be able to get the file back but it might be more work than just editing the video again. It all depends if you have written to that disk a lot after you deleted the file.

                                                                                          Thanks for yor suggestions.

Go Back is the easiest way to recover from a mistake such as the one AaronM committed, but then again you would have had to already have the program installed.
