accidentally deleted files from a USB drive

[pondweed]

any way I can retrieve? from a USB stick
they are not in the recycle bin and I've screwed up badly....perhaps:mad:

Yes, but you need some software. Additionally, don't use the USB Stick until you've tried to retrieve.

Try googling "undelete software"

If you send it for recovery it will be very expensive.
If you purchase a Half decent program, you may recover some/most of it.
As Tatts said, plus do not recover to the USB stick,
or you will loose most of your stuff, as it rewrites over yours!

thanks all. I just need to remember now that this is a big disadvantage of keeping a stick with all my files on it! (no safety net) I cant treat it quite like I did when stuff was on a computer...

Try this, there's a free trial version http://www.recovermyfiles.com/

I've been playing with it, and I'm amazed what it's found!
