Recovering deleated pics?

[Hidemechanic]

Can someone help me see if I can recover a bunch of deleated pics I had ?

It's on a 98 SE, my son one day was messing with things and somehow my photo (HP) file got copied to My Documents.

In my ingnorence, thinking that that was just waisted space and maybe slowing things down I deleated the group that was in My Docs because I could still get to them in my HP photo file. After deleating I went to my photo file and all the folders we gone. I went to recycle bin and clicked restore and it acted like it was restoring but when finished I was unable to find anything that was sent there to start with.

I tried a search for 'jpeg' but turned up none of those pics. Do I have to get a photo restore software or is there something I can do without it?

Does the photo software really work?

These lost pics are many of my leather and saddle work and I'd really like to recover them if there is a way. Any suggestions? I hope I hope. GHackett

There are programs you can get to recover deleted files.
