Maybe you have enabled by default on os disk, the "previous versions" feature. To check it, go to the folder where your downloads existed, click properties, then go to the "previous versions" tab, There you should be able to locate the point in time before deletion, then choose the browse from context menu, and the previous version of folder will be opened in the explorer. Then you'll be able to locate the download folder, and copy/paste it from there. Greetings, Grzegorz. W dniu 2019-05-18 o 16:12, David Mehler pisze:

Hello,

Thanks. No, it is not in the recycle bin.

Suggestions welcome. I've just tried Easeus recovery it found some things but not what I was looking for.

Thanks. Dave.

David,

I am sorry to hear all that. Can you confirm when you say it is gone, is it not in the recycle bin? You could restore it from there! You also could re-associate downloading in each of your browsers if the Download folder is not in the Recycle bin, of course after confirming if it is in your Recycle bin, you would need to recreate the folder.

HTH.

Hello,

I don't usually cross post, so please forgive this posting.

I need help quite urgently actually. I made a mistake and accidentally deleted my download directory in my user profile, this is on a win10 pro 64 machine. The download folder was highlighted and I hit delete, I wanted to delete another folder not downloads so I realized I was on the wrong folder, hit tab to no or what I thought was no and hit enter, as I did my machine shut down. It's having a heating problem that I'm going to partially address today and fully address with a new case. On reboot I found that download directory was gone. I need to get it back. It's been quite a while since I've had to do this, help!

Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org

Hello, Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I ran easeus recovery, then I ran recuva, while they both found files they did not find the files i'm missing. So I ran a system restore which got some but not all. I did also try previous versions first but there weren't any. Thanks. Dave. On 5/18/19, Grzegorz Zlotowicz wrote:

That would be a very bad idea at this stage until you've recovered the files you need, as that has the potential to make recovery nearly impossible. 1 of the better utilities in the nonforensics space I've seen for this is Get My Data Back, but it's expensive. If you need that stuff, though, it might be worth it. On 5/18/19, Jason White via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

I would also suggest running chkdsk on that file system, just in case it recovers data, or at least repairs corruption resulting from the unclean shutdown that occurred shortly after you deleted the directory.
