Solved Win 8 undelete problem

I've used XP undelete programs for years but I'm not having much luck with Win 8. I tried EaseUS and another undelete program (both in another directory).

I see thousands of deleted files but none of the ones I'm looking for---about 75 photos in folders---inside another folder named temp--which was foolishly stored on my desktop.

I didn't reboot, I didn't Fdisk, or make ANY other changes since I deleted them.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Could you do a system restore to a date before they were deleted?

I haven't checked 8 system restore.

No idea if it will restore a folder from the desktop.

You could see if something else will find them first - recuva for example. You would need to run it from outside of 8.

I assume you are not using 8 at all.

Big danger of overwriting if you have been using it since you deleted that folder.
