When a file is deleted from your computer, it is not really deleted. It is simply removed from the directory of files in the folder.

If you are using Windows and you deleted the file using Windows Explorer, the file will not have been erased from the disk. It will have been moved to the Recycle Bin.
(If you're a Mac user, it's moved to the Trash. If you use Linux KDE, it's the Wastebin.)
So the first thing to do when you want to recover a deleted file is to look in the Recycle Bin.

If it is not in the Recycle Bin, i.e if you deleted by Shift+Delete, then you might think that the file is deleted permanently.
But still your file is not deleted.Because the operating system doesn't immediately re-use space from deleted files, a file can be recovered or undeleted right after it has gone, and for a fair while afterwards.

The chances of recovery depends on how full your computer's hard drive is. Windows tries to avoid re-using disk space that has recently been freed, to give deleted file recovery software a better chance of working.
But the fuller a drive is is, the sooner the freed-up space is going to be used by other files.

If you have defragmented the hard drive since the file was deleted, then this has severely harmed the chances of a successful recovery. Current files will have been moved into the free space left by deleted files in order to reduce fragmentation, making it much less likely that undelete software will be able to find anything useful.

There are certain undelete softwares that will help you to recover deleted files.

If you're running Microsoft Windows then DiskInternals Uneraser is the best undelete software you can buy.
It uses the deepest search methods and the most sophisticated recovery algorithms to give you the best possible chance of recovering your files.
It also has powerful tools to help you find the files you want from among the thousands on the average hard disk.

Uneraser has the widest range of built-in viewers to let you examine the files it finds before recovery. There is a free trial version so you can see for yourself whether it can recover the files you lost. If a file looks perfect in the viewer then recovery is pretty well 100% guaranteed.
