Here are two ways to recover your encrypted data:

1) If you had your EFS keys backed up to a PFX, you can import them and
recover your data.
2) If there was a recovery agent configured, the recovery agent can use
his/her keys to recover the data.
 
ok thanks
this means i will not be able to access the files
but now since it takes my precious 10 gb of diskspace
is there anyway to delete it
