I just recently switched from kazaa lite to limewire. So i deleted all the
kazaa programs and files, as well as the kazaa my shared folder where all my
songs were located. now windows media player and real one can not locate 95%
of my songs. the folders were sent to the recycling bin where i deleted them
.. how do get the kazaa lite my shared folder back. thanks.
 
Professional recovery services usually charge from about $2,000 and up so if
someone isn't going to actually buy music but just download from Kazaa, I
think it highly doubtful that they'll pay for recovery of said music!!!

Now that may just be the cynic in me, but somehow I feel finances may be the
primary issue here. If the OP had the $2,000 they might actually go out and
buy legal copies of the MP3s in question!!
 
Unlikely. He's installed more software since the delete. If you go the
software method, it's almost essential to do it as soon as possible.

Anyway, he'll now be re-downloading them through Limwire, so he'll get them
all back (and probably a whole load more) in time.
 
The hyperlink (URL) Cari refers to has an excellent program but it is not
cheap.
The free Demo will show if any of the files are still on your harddrive but
will
NOT let you restore them unless you buy the program. You can try the below
free program, download it to a floppy disk or a CD and run it from there so
it will
not overwrite any of your deleted files.

But was the original poster aware that "deleting" items from the recycle bin
meant that they were really still there? That if nothing was installed or
copied to the drive, the files could have been completely recovered? Nothing
in your reply suggested that this was possible.

Rather than saying "sorry, it's gone", and for the benefit of others, I
think it might have helped to advise the poster that files can be recovered
(even if Microsoft don't include a method of doing this when someone buys
Windows).

It wasn't Cari that referred to it, it was me. And whether it's cheap
depends on what value people place on their data.

Yep, that's correct.

I haven't tried it, but yes, an early pointer to that may have helped the
original poster.
 
Somebody lost their Kazaa files - oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I've not had a
laugh like that for a long time.
