It's possible if the file hasn't been overwritten. There are many programs that you can try- some are free, some have a trial version and some cost $. I haven't used any in a long time, but if you search google for "undelete file windows" you'll get a lot of choices.

Here's a couple free ones:

Tip: It is common that the only drive user has is C: and this is also the drive from where files need to be undeleted. In that case a good solution is using a USB flash drive as FreeUndelete download and install destination.

Why would you set it like that?

Search for drive rescue ... it cure's what happen's when one blink's and thing's happen .

One important thing is not to use the computer (or as little as possible) until you've tried to salvage the file. You never know what sectors Windows decide to use.

GetDataBack has generally worked well for me.

it's freeware and is pretty useful
