Restore a deleted Excel Workbook?
by accident, a workbook has been deleted from my C Drive and also cleared
from the Recycle bin. Is there any way to restore this from the "guts" of the computer? |

Restore a deleted Excel Workbook?
Your only chance may be a professional data recovery company, assuming the
area on the hard drive hasn't been overwritten. You won't know that till they try, by which time you will have run up a bill! -- Ian -- "Ashby" wrote in message ... by accident, a workbook has been deleted from my C Drive and also cleared from the Recycle bin.

Lots of options if you look on google...
Depends on how much it's worth to get it back. If it took more than a couple of hours then you should spring for some software (assuming it works...)

Restore a deleted Excel Workbook?
Don't expect to consistently be able to recover a deleted file.
I don't know what additional consequences you have by first moving to Recycle Bin and then deleting because I don't know if files are renamed there. For NTFS files try here and proceed to the utility's site. FreeUndelete v1.0 http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...5,tk,lg,00.asp For other files PC INSPECTOR File Recovery http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/download.htm Some links to others Disk Utilities - backup, recovery, status (#refUtil) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/backup.htm#refUtil --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Tim Williams" <timjwilliams at gmail dot com wrote in message ...

Ashby,
I know FileScavenger works well: http://www.quetek.com The demo version can retrieve files if they are less than 64K(?) in size. Otherwise you need to pay, US$40 or so. Worth it.
