Hello,

Try this 1.

If you have accidentally deleted any files from your Windows Computer, Recycle

Bin, Digital Camera Card, MP3 player, iPod, if you've formatted a drive then you

can recover the deleted files using a free application named "Recuva".

Click on the below link and download the file.

Perform "Deep Scan".

Good Luck.

Hello,
Install that application and follow the instructions. Select the drive where you have saved the files. Most probably will be your OS drive (C-Drive). If you have saved the files in my documents then you can select the option my documents or select the drive.
Good Luck.
