Did you look in your Recycle Bin?

This group is for issues with Microsoft Office - your problem has nothing
whatsoever to do with MS Office. But, to answer it, no they're gone.

Well that sucks! What forum is it to do with then its not a specific program,
i did it using my computer in XP?? I tried to use the recycling bin but the
folder names werent there, i revovered all the items deleted on the day but
cant find any of them.

First - take a deep breath.

Second - the newsgroups are broken down into particular programs, or aspects
of a program, so that people who have knowledge in that area can help.

Your question was not about Office. Just because it may have been an Office
file that you deleted doesn't make it an Office issue. It really was a
Windows question.

If your files weren't in the Recycle Bin, they are gone. No recovery. Were
they by chance on a network drive (before deletion)? If so, that's why.
