I selected several photos from a folder to move using drag and drop to another folder. After that I used ctrl + z wanting to move them back to the first folder. I checked both folders and recycle bin for the photos and they were no where to be found. Please tell me if there is any way to recover them with out the use of a program or if I have to start running an undeletion one (the drive is 300 GB half occupied, so it will take some time to check it). Thank you!

*I started using Undelete 360 for that drive and will keep it running until it is done or there is a better alternative.

So after several hours of checking i ended no where.
The file explorer does not show any file with part of the name where there should be over 40.
I also left 360 undelete running for the past 8 hours, it did a full drive check and didn't find them either.
I am thinking of doing a search based on size parameters that should include that picture size in case the name was changed somehow or try another piece of software that could undelete them.
Also, the second i saw my files disapear i stopped doing anything on the computer to reduce the chance of them being overwritten.
Please tell me if you know of a good software that might do that. Thank you!
