I just accidentally shift + deleted my entire movies folder. That's about 180Gb of movies gone.

I'm hoping this recovery software does the trick.

Acquire the "Winternals" admin pack if what you have does not work. There is a utility to search out and undelete, works like a champ.

I'm using Recuva, made by the people that make CCleaner, so hopefully it'll get it all.

So if you can recover this easy, I mean movies. What's to stop you buying comps on Ebay and doing the same?

Since everyone seems to have got carried away with the idea I'd just like to clarify they are in fact regular movies and not pornographic whatsoever. Although some probably have the odd breast in them. I do not have 180gigs of pr0n.

The thing is, deleting 18GB is no quick thing. Surely you could've cancelled it and not lost out on everything

No?

You would think so wouldn't you? But nope, one second they were there, the next they weren't. Vista is efficient it seems.

Partially. Some are corrupted. I'm going to try a few other programs to see if it'll get me a few more back.

Anyone who's dumb enough who shift-delete important shit and sells their computer deserves whatever happens to them.

I prefer to think of it as 'borrowed'. And some of them are just DVD rips from friends and my own collections.
