Thanks, unfortunately the last version of the folder was 6 days ago, I guess I don't have it set to save diff versions very frequently or something. As for Recuva in Advanced mode it only still found the $I. I'll just have what to rewrite what I can remember I guess. Also need to be more wary when working on the PC while sleepy, so I don't do stupid mistakes like this again. (and rename New Text Document files immediately to something relevant, so I don't think it was some temporary text file I could delete ). Thanks all once more.

Thanks, I've done the scan in Wizard mode. Will try Advanced to see if anything else comes up, but not very hopeful.

I've noticed I accidentaly deleted an important .txt file from emptying the recycle bin yesterday right before shutting off my PC. So the first thing I done today was to download Recuva (portable version) and did a Deep Scan in Recycle Bin. I found a lot of $I 544 bytes files from other files I had deleted before and I take it those are index entries and not the $R data I want. The problem is that it only has found one or two $R files that contain readable data and they are files deleted some hours before the important .txt file I'm looking for. There is, however, an $I txt file in the results and it is the one with the most recent date. If only I could find its $R... would scanning in more locations help or is it gone forever? I don't understand why it managed to find smaller files deleted hours before the .txt one? Thanks
