[SOLVED] help ?! D:

hey i could really use some help ... i have just recently accidently deleted all my photos somehow :\
i went straight to recycle bin to restore them but only half of them were there?
im freaking out because i deleted them off my camera too.
so then i tried restoring from last backup BUT that didnt work .. so i tried just doing a backup and that wont work either bcuz apparently i have "corrupted files" -.-
so if anyone could help me with any of these problems feel free to reply
thanks

- totally freaking out D: D

Relax

Try Recuva to restore the files:

It's a great tool. Never failed me.

oh thanks ... its not spam or anything is it ?
cos thats the last thing i need haha

Uh.. Members who have a 650 post count don't usually spam...

hah! okay okay ... but it costs money lol
hmm .. would you happen to know any free ones ?

It is free. The buttons that say stuff about money are actually donation buttons.
Look under, there should be two links; one for downloading from filehippo, one for downloading from Piriform.com

Here is a direct link:

I would also add to stop using the computer for any purpose other than trying to recover the pictures, for now anyway. Less chance of overwriting that space that they occupied on the drive.

Also, after you succeed (or fail) at recovering them, run some hard disk diagnostics. Your drive may be failing.

oh yeah .. i saw that :\
k thanks .. alright iv installed an all that stuff ... now its asking me weather to use "deep scan " ? do i tick the little box or not X)

thanks yoda dude ^.^ *quits facebook and itunes*

Well - I would try without before, as it is slower, but if you can't find the files, do tick the box, and rerun it.
