Yes, search the web for programs that “unerase” or “undelete” files. There are some out there that are free to use for a short time. The information might not be on the disk (or in RAM) any more, but it might be, because most files systems just change the index what instructed to delete something. good luck.

“when instructed”, that is.

here is an example http://www.tech-pro.net/how-to-recove… try google search for ‘recover deleted items’ but beaware of malware in the process.

good news is as long as you haven’t rebooted since dleteing the file, there is a chance of recovery

Oh, sorry, I unsubscribed to all the posts. :( I wasn’t ignoring you. This may be way too late, but if you still want help I happen to have recovered many very deleted things before.
