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.
