You could always try recuva, made by the same people as CCleaner is.

 

i gave it a go but no luck

[Need help recovering emptied recycle bin]

well i accidentally had moved a folder into the recycling bin and by habit i run CCleaner when the bin is full

 

so now i lost a good 50 pictures that i would like back.

 

i tried

EasyRecovery Professional

Recover My Files

 

on the speedier file scans, but it didnt pick them up

initially when i was running a demo of one of these recovery programs it found some of the pics but after trying again later, it didn't.

ive done a reboot for the hell of it and tried the quicker scans and still nothing

 

am i too late, are the files and pictures from the desktop directory lost forever?

or can i do a hardcore scan that takes many hours to possibly find them?? anyone know which searching method is best?

thanks
