After emptying the recycle bin I need to recover some documents. I tried the application 'Restoration' but it gives invalid path errors.

Can someone suggest a FREEWARE data recovery program? I need to recover some documents I deleted, I actually deleted the entire folder.

grrr.... still no luck

I have no problem recovering the files. I send them to a folder named /documents/undelete. I even saved them to a flash drive. The problem is viewing a simple text document that I am trying to recover. It opens the document but it is either scambled in code or it simply won't open. I also tried Recuva uninstall progam - same thing.

Attached is what comes up when I try to open the file.

I have about 8 doc. files and 5 of them will open. The one I need WON'T :cry

Is it just that this particular file cannot be recovered or should I keep trying more programs?
