Can you retrieve things you have deleted from trash

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I don't know how I did it, but I deleted some very important info into my
trash and then deleted my trash. It seems my restore system only does a
restore once a day, and yesterday at 4:00 doesn't work for me.
I thought my old version of widows had something like that. Any ideas

Patti;
System Restore does not restore personal data so that would not be an
option.
See this for more about what System Restore does and does not restore:

Something here may help:

Try Step 4 first.

Also, now would be a good time starting a plan to keep current back-ups of
all important data.

Thanks so much for the website. I was able to recover one picture. But the
majority of the stuff found was a bunch of numbers and letters mixed. I
typed in the name of the file that was deleted and it didn't have that - it
just gave me a bunch of numbers. I went through the tutorial and scanned
the disks. Any more ideas? Thanks.
