The other day, I took some new pictures and saved them in a new folder on my desktop, and after saving them on my desktop, I deleted them from my camera’s memory card. After about 5 hours, I was cleaning my desktop to get rid of some unwanted documents and then I emptied my recycle bin. It was at that time that I noticed I had deleted the new pictures too! Are they gone forever or is there any ways to recover them?

Stop using the system (well, hardly use it...) and download Recuva:

If the disk sectors have not been re-used, there is a chance recuva may be able to recover some of the files...

I found a free download of Recuva here http://j.mp/1qdfnSB



With Recuva you can restore files that have been accidentally deleted from the computer, a USB drive, an MP3 player or even a memory card from your photo camera.

To recover files from PC or other supports and devices you can use wondershare data recovery. You can get it for free here http://bitly.com/1qaJNDe

It's a must have program.

Yes it MAY be possible, but you need to stop using the drive immediately.



You'll want to connect the drive to a different computer as a secondary drive and use a specialized data recovery utility like Recuva, or if you're not very computer savvy, have a tech do it for you.



You actually might have better luck recovering them from the memory card. There are utilities for that.

hi

When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren't immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table. If you manage to start an undelete process before Windows overwrites that part of hard disk with new files. You can set that flag back to "on" and get your file.



As I know, you can download some free recovery software as follow to recover deleted files.

Note:Stop using the current disk as main disk, please keep it unchangeable before recovering the files.

You can recover them yes. But you can't do it yourself. You'll need an expert for that. You see when you delete something from your harddrive it isn't really gone, just the "directions" to it. When you empty the bin the place where the images were stored is also marked as "overwritable" which mean if you save something new it will save on that location, overwriting the old. What I mean is, your pictures are still there, you just need an expert with special tools to recover them. Contact your local tech shop for more info.
