OK, no I’m not a noob at computing, so let me explain this plain and simple… I went to reinstall windows, so I decide to back up 2 years of my life into a folder ready to be Transfer to an external drive.
And to cut the long story short, I deleted that folder with all the files in it PERMANENTLY from the recycling bin without noticing!
I went on google for hours trying out all those crap beat file recovery software to no avail! I need serious SERIOUS help! I’ve never been so shaky in my like!

Don’t do anything else on your computer. You have to buy some recovery software. I don’t have any idea which one is good so you should check it out first. Here’s one that will do what you need it to. But again check it out there are several. http://www.diskdoctors.net/instant-file-…
I’m not sure if this will help u but I will mention it and u can try it.
There is a tiny little programme called “spinrite” that fixes hard disks. It either has to boot from a CD or a floppy cuz it doesn’t run from Windows or any OS.
why were they in your recycling bin to begin with?
long story short: you’re probably screwed, most good data recovery programs are pretty expensive. Just re-download all your pr0n plenty still out there.
You could try System Restore.
no hope.
I do agree with the person who suggested you stop using that drive immediately, as every new function can be overwriting the disk address space held by those lost files. Although I suggest you consider slaving the drive from that lost data computer to a different computer, you can also reduce the potential of the recovery software itself overwriting drive addresses by running those burned to a CD.
These two free softwares are both good, though I prefer DiskDigger. It does a more thorough job of locating ALL deleted files and data, so improves the chances of you locating those you need to restore:

Avira UnErasehttp://www.majorgeeks.com/Avira_UnErase_…
When doing data recovery you may not get a nice clean report list of that folder or it’s files, but instead will get a list of all deleted files, but with restore software designated names (such as bt455743A.jpg). Then you can change the list views so, for one suggestion, you have the files found listed by date. Those deleted folder files might show as one grouping this way.
