I deleted a file off my USB, how do I get it back as it isn't in Recycle Bin?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

You go back in time and tell your parents not to shoot up heroin while they're pregnant with you.

It's lost forever within the darkest crevasses of the cyberworld. You must embark on a dangerous mission through thousands of website and countless virus' if you ever hope to get it back.


Can you see this? Probably not. Douche.

Would a system recovery work if it was once on my comp?

Try restoring to factory settings. That basically re-adds all your deleted files.

It's deleted, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't get it back. After all when you delete data, it isn't actually deleted. It's just moved into a stack (array) with a flag that tells the OS not to look for the file.

Furthermore the police can use software to recover files you've deleted to help them gain a conviction. So looking on Google for deleted file recovery might be a start.

In fact I just did it and there are hundreds.
