How do I restore items from the Recycle Bin?
Accidentally deleted the folder with our vacation photos, and worse, I emptied my Recycle Bin!
There has to be some way to restore everything, it can’t just completely disappear.. Is there anything I can do? Software? Etc. Please help me. Please!
The Restore System latest Point of Restore was 2 days ago, and I think it might have been deleted like almost 2 weeks ago, it’s not there at the Restore Dates.
The Expert answers:
Contrary to popular belief, deleting files from your recycle bin does not mean they are permanently lost. The files are still there but Windows cannot recognize them anymore. What you need is data recovery software.
Just remember that you only have short window of time to get the files back. It is highly recommended to scan your system as soon as possible. Try out this free scan:

Where do u get the green bins to putting plastic and glass in to recycle?
I live in Houston,TX. I’m out of city limits but I still live in county limits…..Harris.
The Expert answers:
I’m in Harris county just outside of Houston too and my recycling bin is blue.
WCA dropped the bin off at the house when they started collecting recyclables with the garbage on Mondays and they will sell additional or replacement bins for $8 each.
Basically, it depends on which MUD you’re in. Check their website and see if they have a recycling program, if they don’t, express an interest in a recycling program.

Sandy asks…
How can I PERMANENTLY erase files I have already deleted and removed from the recycle bin?
If I have deleted files, and removed them from the recycle bin, how can I permanently delete them without reformating?
Basically I don’t want a program to be able to pick up the data traces and be able to view the files.
How can I permananently delete them?
Thanks
The Expert answers:
1) If you just delete then the file can be recovered from Recycle Bin
2) If you delete from Recycle Bin then then it is recoverable by using software until you format the disk.
3) If you want to delete a file that is not recoverable by any way then you have to “SHREDDER” the file. This can be done by special softwares.
There are so many softwares, please search in google.
Lizzie asks…
How do you uninstall windows live messenger when you have emptied it from the recycle bin ?
I have accidentally deleted Windows Live Messenger from my desktop then from the recycle bin, and now when i go to uninstall it, it isn’t there. How do I get it back so that i can uninstall it and where can I find the programme ?
The Expert answers:
Moving something other than a file from your desktop usually means you have only deleted the shortcut and the corresponding program can still be found in the All programs section of the Start menu.
Windows Live Messenger is in the Windows Live folder in that list.
Follow the instructions from the previous post if you wish to uninstall it completely.
