    Hey guys, well... I accidently pressed delete and I lost all of my downloads (Also music that my brother put on. He can't put it back on since he left home yesterday. He is living with a friend so yay! but it's sad too I guess :() Is there an easy way to get all of it back? It's not in the recycling bin and I have tried using programs, but they make you pay after so many files have been recovered. Please, please, please, please help me someone!! :(
    I know this isn't anything to do with free rider but I think some important stuff from here that I saved has been deleted too :eek:
    Char Char Char Char Eric Eric Eric Eric lol :rofl: Yes, I'm that desperate....

    I have a crappy Acer and it's windows 7

    Download Recuva Skeeny it will search deleted files and you can choose which ones you want back. Not all files are always retrieveable.

    Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    1. Click Start, next All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore.
    2. System restore will show a recommended restore, which is the latest created restore point. In case you are sure the system was still running properly on this date, clickNext; else select Choose a different restore point. This will present you with a list of available restore points, ordered by date. Select a date on which, or prior to, you know your system was working correctly, and click Next.
    3. You will receive a confirmation window. Click Finish to start the restore process. The system will automatically restart as part of the process.
