  2. Deleting or emptying your recycle bin does not mean those
    files are gone forever. But if you want any hope of getting them back, the
    sooner you act the better. What you need to do is get a data recovery software.
    With data recovery software you can scan the lower levels of your hard drive
    where in many cases the memory remains. Try it out yourself for free
