Restoring deleted data?

[Shafra]

Long story short..

Used Driver Cleaner Pro to remove my Nvidia drivers and reinstall them. I didn't consider the fact it would remove the whole Nvidia directory. I actually used that directory to store a bunch of files and downloads.

Anyway to get the data back? This is another lesson learned for why I should always view the readme files....

And there is nothing in the Recycle Bin.

Thank you. I'm running it now, hopefully I can save the files. I just did this a few hours ago and did a defrag 2 days ago, so from what I read I could be in luck. I'll edit the post when it's done so others can have an idea of success rate.

Good Luck...incase it didnt work as expected, I use recovermyfiles...(www.recovermyfiles.com) Its not a freeware though, but you can try it for free...

Good Luck again...

I'll try the recovermyfiles. The other program was only able to restore one item, I should have thought ahead on this one but the biggest problem right now is I can't remember how important the data was... I just know I had 5 folders inside that Nvidia directory that were wiped.
