You don't. They are deleted, in the right meaning of the word.

Those files are gone forever, short of spending large amounts of money to a

forensic analyst. It is certainly possible to recover them. If you

immediately shut down the computer and pay someone with data recovery skills

substantial amounts to recover the file.

Hi, Sridhar.

 

Use that method of deleting files that you INTEND to be gone FOREVER.

 

But, it erases only the pointers to the file, not the file itself. So there

are two ways that you might recover the file. But do NOT continue to use

that partition; anything you write there may overwrite the file that you

want to have back, making recovery almost impossible.

 

First, you could use a file recovery service, which is generally quite

expensive.

 

Second, you could use one of the several file recovery utilities available.

They are generally not free, but affordable, and require some computer

expertise on your part. One that has worked a few times for me (not

recently) is R-Studio, which you can find at http://www.r-tt.com for under $100.

 

Only YOU know how much time, expense and effort those files are worth to

you.

Re: What happens when I delete with Shift+Delete

 

Thanks RC,

That is wonderful explanation

 

Now going onto my quest of recovering, what is the way I can find out what

files are deleted.

 

Is there any API call I can make or how to approach this problem. If I get

starting pointer I would like to develop an open source utility for this

 

Regards

Sridhar

Hi, Sridhar.

 

I'm glad it helped. But I'm not a programmer, so somebody else will have to

help with API questions. If you post back with your eventual solution it

might help someone else with a similar problem.

 

(And please use Reply to the Group, rather than Reply All, which sent me an

email in addition to posting here.)

 

Good luck.

Re: What happens when I delete with Shift+Delete

 

It's been a long time since I did any programming, but I would be surprised

if the API contains the functionality to make this distinction. I am pretty

sure, however, that creative scripting could do this.

 

Studying MS TechNet, might be helpful?

Files deleted using Shift+Delete combination can be recovered with

Easy File Undelete software:

 

http://www.munsoft.com/EasyFileUndelete/

 

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software

either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
