I Deleted a Folder in Windows Mail..Can I Get It Back
| | |
Posted by country_bumpkin_al (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 18:32
| A few weeks ago I was doing something for a friend that involved her emailing/forwarding pictures and emails to me. I made a folded with her name and just moved everything I needed to save to it. Well...I thought I was finished with it and deleted that folder and contents this morning. Low and behold, I need it back (isn't that always the way it goes?).
Is there any way to get that folder back? how? |

| have you checked in your recycle bin or in your email client deleted folder? it is usually there for a while before being removed. Since you did not mention if the folder you created was an email folder on your email client or if it was a folder somewhere on your pc you will have to use which ever location applies. if it was on your pc you can also go to start> search and type in the name of the folder or files and do a search for it. In your email client there should be a search option you can put in the persons email address and search for any emails received from that person they may still show up. |

| Accidentally deleted an important file? Lost something important when your computer crashed? No problem! Recuva recovers files deleted from your Windows computer, Recycle Bin, digital camera card, or MP3 player. And it's free! Try it see link to download it, not sure if it will recover a folder though. |
Here is a link that might be useful: recuva

| This was a folder I set up in/under my Email folders..and named it "J". I moved all emails/pictures from her to that folder. I've checked the Recycle Bin and the Deleted folder in my email. It's not in either place. I'm not sure what my "email client" is? (not real computer smart..lol) |

| "email client" That's just the name of the e mail you use, like yahoo, outlook, thunderbird, ect.. |

| I guess it's "Windows Mail". It's whatever came with my Dell Laptop w/vista. No...I haven't tried Recuva yet. |

| Brenda, When something is deleted from Windows mail, and your deleted folder is emptied it does not go to recycle bin, and basically it is gone forever. There is some expensive software, that might get it back. To my knowledge, Recuva, does not recover a deleted email folder, just files that are other places on your computer. Good Luck to you. Cat |

| Cat..the was a sub folder I made. I've looked and it didn't go into the deleted folder...which hasn't been emptied. I read about the Recuva and thought the same thing. |
