Ugh, Just deleted a directory by mistake :(

    I was just going through some old files and freeing up some space by deleting some video files I do not need. I was selecting a big bunch of files I don't want, but accidentally grabbed a directory at the top of it - and I "Shift+Del" deleted them by accident. Balls.

    It's not the end of the world as I can probably get them again but I'd love to even be able to identify the names of them even.

    Can anyone recommend a program that could potentially scan the drive, identify the files and let me see even the name of them?

    Thanks

    Because other wise you might overwrite files you haven't yet recovered with the first few files you do recover. If its a system drive (OS), you may be better off putting it in another PC rather than booting from it.
