Can I get my deleted pictures back?

I Accidentaly Deleted the fille 'My Pictures' . How can i get it back?

  • I accidentally deleted the file My Pictures. Now when ever I need to install something it says "Invalid character in file- My Pictures". And Ive already emptied the recycle bin. How do i fix this? Is there somewhere I can download this file from?

  • Answer:

    My Pictures is a default folder in the My Documents folder. You can goto the My Documents folder and > right click in the window > click the option to create new folder > name the new folder My Pictures. Tools that can help you undelete files that were deleted but are not in the Recycle Bin are not provided as standard in Windows. You will need to buy third party undelete software to do this. This software understands the internals of the system used to store files on a disk, and can locate clues to the whereabouts of the disk space a lost file occupied. This unerase software can also read the unallocated disk space, the space your deleted files formerly occupied and which is available for reuse. This space can't normally be read by programs. It's advisable to have a second hard disk available, such as a removable drive, USB Flash drive or a network drive, if you don't already have more than one drive in your computer. You can install the recovery software on this drive, and then save the files that you recover to it, without overwriting space on your main hard drive that contains other deleted data. If you don't have another hard drive, then DiskInternals Uneraser and other DiskInternals products featured on this site have a unique ability to save files direct to writeable CD without creating any temporary files on the hard drive. This exclusive capability makes these products safe to use in any situation giving the greatest chance of a successful recovery.

"The Guru"

if you can; try restoring your computer to a later date. this will turn your computer back to that time and have all your pictures listed before you deleted them. i will also suggest uploading your pictures to a CD.

If you already emptied your trash can, the only thing I could think of is to restore to an earlier day, but I don't think it will work, since this only sets your computer settings. To restore = go to start, all programs, Accessories, System Tools and Restore. Here you set up a restore point and follow instructions. You can also create a new file, but it will be empty and you would need to start all over with your picture collection. Good luck!
