So, after running a full computer scan, even a deep scan, I am not able to find any deleted XML MSN Messenger chat log files. To test the scanner, I deleted XML chat log files and re-scanned. The scanner is able to locate and list other xml files but for some reason 0 chat log files come up.

Please don't bump threads. If no one is able or willing to respond then it's just the luck of the game.
not everything can be recovered that just what happens, as far as your test it's been oft discussed that recuva (and maybe it's a MFT thing don't know) sometimes doesn't see items that were immediately before deleted (or something along those lines, don't have access to my pc currently sorry.)
