Technical Support / Photos Accidentally Put in Recycling Bin But Don't Show Up There
« on: December 16, 2012, 01:16:19 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I've seen variations on this issue, but not my problem exactly, and I was hoping there'd be a simple solution to my problem. Essentially, I did a photo shoot yesterday and was attempting to copy the .CR2 files onto my computer. In the process of pasting them over though, I accidentally put them into the Recycling Bin. It immediately prompted me to say, "If you move these files into the Recycling Bin, they will be permanently deleted. Are you sure you wish to continue?" I obviously hit the "No" button, but the photos were deleted from the CF card anyway! And they're not in the recycling bin either, so I can't just restore them.
I've tried this a couple more times with unimportant photos just to ensure I'm not going crazy, and indeed, every time it deletes the photos, despite the fact that I hit the "No" button.
Does anyone have any good suggestions? I'm currently doing a scan with CardRecovery Pro, but I can't tell if it's scanning the CF card in my camera, or just my C: Drive, and regardless, I'm not sure where the photos would show up at this point anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...a lot of work went into the photos and I'd hate to lose them. Thanks in advance.
