First...it may be worth a look in your
recycle bin.
And...maybe this freebie will work.

No guarantees....but after downloading
and installing PC Inspector File Recovery...
open the program and try the following
steps...
Choose Language...left click the large
Green Check mark...
On the next screen...left click the Red X...
Now...on your main screen...left click the
top tab in the left pane..."Open Drive"...
In the "Select Drive" window...select
your main drive...probably, "Windows Drive C:"
Left click the Green Check Mark...
After a quick scan, you should see the
following in your "Folders" column.
Root
Deleted
Lost
Searched
In the left pane...left click the..."Find Files"
tab. (third tab from top...looks like a magnifying
glass)
Enter your search criteria in the "Name"
field. Example...if you are searching for
..jpg files....enter the following.....
*.jpg (yes you need the asterisk)
This will find all .jpg files.
Left click the Green check mark.
After the scan...scroll through the list of
found files and if the files you wish to recover
have not been overwritten due to activity
on your hard drive hopefully you will be
successful.
Select a file or group of files and right
click the selection.
From the menu...select...Save To...
Choose the save to location and left click
the Green check mark.
Good luck.
