recovery of deleted .pst file from hard drive

[patl]

I inadvertantly deleted a .pst folder from my hard drive and have lost all of
my personal folders (.pst) within outlook. Can the .pst folder be recovered
if it was not backed-up?

[Peter Marchert]

If you do not longer work on the pc you have good conditions to get the
file back. Please search for a tool which can undelete files from you
hard drive.

Best Regards
Peter

Good advice Peter but most of those tools require that they are installed *before* the file has been deleted.

If you know of one that can be installed *after* the file has been deleted and can retroactively restore it, please tell me about it. It would be very useful information to have.

Pati,

Have you looked in the Recycle Bin?

Thanks for the reply and 'yes' I did check the recycle bin---.pst folder not
found as the bin auto-deletles with each shutdown.
Thx
Pat

Thx for the message and I think you are right---so far, no luck with the
undelete tools.
