Accidentally deleted my script! - Dripac - 29.09.2011

I wanted to delete my images saved on desktop, and accidently i deleted my server folder with it where my SUPER script was saved, and after that i deleted everything from Recycle bin because i didn't know the server folder was deleted. Now i used windows backup and tried some applications, but they won't restore my .pwn file (Only some .ini .cfg and the .exe files! Did this happen to anyone too? Did u restore it and how?

Would've been a better name for the topic "How to recover .pwn files?"

Search for recovery programs that restore all types of data. Though big chance that it gives an incomplete file. ALWAYS make backups on another location, that could be a server or a external drive. This might sound stupid but its a life saver. (or in this case, a file saver)

You can try some programs, but theres a high risk you can't recover it anymore.

For some reason, I find some of my .amx files in C:\ (or any system drive)

Try to search the amx of your script in your System drive and decode it.. (Since it's your own creation, it's allowed AFAIK)

I could be wrong.

If it would really be of value to you, I guess you made a backup?

Re: Accidentally deleted my script! - Dripac - 29.09.2011

I wanted to make a backup after i finish it.

And i tried 3-4 applications, none of them restored it.

You should also make backups when you are scripting it!

And probably you won't find it anymore then. You have to start over and again!

Did I forget to tell you in the above post that you're dead? Even if u recover it some way or the other it will just be messed up. Because if every file would be to recovered you wouldn't have had free space on ur computer because if you deleted ur files out of the recycle bin and they were there to be recovered then even a 1TB HD wouldn't have had enough space, but as Hiddos said, if it was so special for ya, you could've make a back up. As I always do and recommend it to others. If you couldn't recover it then learn from your mistakes and confirm a file before deleting and next time always backup regularly.

Thats not how harddrive's work. (I might be wrong). But I always learned normal HDD's have a disk spinning inside it, with a controller, the controller knows at what part of the CD what file is located. When you delete the file, it's not actually the deleted, it just TELLS the controller to overwrite that part of the CD and make it look like it has space availible. But actually the file IS still there, and will always be. The thing is, it doesen't have a logical name anymore etc, so those programs look for logical sets of bits etc, if you have a really good program there MIGHT be a slight chance that you're able to recover it, though I doubt it. ALWAYS make backups like I said before, some people learn it the hard way.
