Recovering lost files from an emptied recycle bin is possible. Use this free tool to get your data back!
Pro Tip: Whenever you lose files, never ever start transferring files onto the hard drive. You may overwrite the sector with the deleted files that can still be recovered. Files are NOT gone when you delete them, not even when they are deleted from the recycle bin, you can always recover files as long as you do not overwrite them with other files and that can happen quite easily, because the hard drives believes you no longer use that sector.
When you accidentally delete the files by right clicking them and selecting the Delete button, most of the times they can be restored from the Reycle Bin. What if you accidentally emptied the Recycle Bin and then slammed your head in the wall “Damn! I needed that data?”
