Hello flashpoint, and welcome to Eight Forums.
Check your Recycle Bin to see if it may still be in there. If so, then you could just restore the folder from within the Recycle Bin.
If not, then you could do a
system restore using a restore point dated before you deleted the folder to restore it to how it was when the restore point was created.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
