My Friend Deleted Everything From A Text File And Then Saved It. Can The Original Data Be Recovered?
Posted by benny in FreeWare on June 9th, 2009 | 5 responses
The ending file size is zero bytes. I thought maybe the file wouldn’t move so that the data might still be on the drive. I used ‘debug’ to dump the drive contents at the file location but the data was gone. I’ve looked at data recovery software but it looks like it is all geared toward recovering deleted files. One more wrinkle, the computer is in NC and I am in MI so I don’t have direct access to the machine. My friend is computer literate enough that I could walk her through running debug but I’m not sure how much more she will feel comfortable doing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, no. Don’t let people waste your time by telling you to try stupid methods in an attempt to recover something that can’t be recovered. Sorry, couldn’t give you better news. At least it will save you the time you could have wasted trying to recover it.
Well, are you both online? If so, and you both have Windows Live Messenger, you could do a Remote Assistance session, whereby you would have direct access to the other computer and would be able to do anything necessary to find out if you could recover the data..
If you have NOT restarted the computer, you can undo the delete. In edit which is to the right of file.
IF THE FILE IS STILL UP AND THE COMPUTER HASNT BEEN RESTARTED TRY CONTROL Z
OTHERWISE HES SCREWED

This is double edged weapon that can retrieve deleted files or exterminate for ever.Yet it can restore file that have been deleted from the recyclebin or even deleted while holding down the shift key.
