Hi,
there is no easy way to recover data from Entourage once it has been
deleted. Entourage stores its data in a database, so files such as e-mail
messages do not pass through the Finder's trash at all; instead, they are
removed from the database itself. Unfortunately, Entourage does not have an
internal trash can, so you cannot undo any mistakes you might have made
while deleting data. Your post has got me slightly confused, though, since
deleting a project does not delete the Entourage items associated with that
project. In other words, please check if your e-mail messages and other
items have truly been deleted, or if they can still be found in the
respective sections of Entourage.
As far as I know, there is currently one automated way of deleting (at once)
all the items associated with a project, and that's through File>Export,
where you can choose to have Entourage delete all the project data after
creating an archive of that project. However, in that case, you should have
an archive serving as a backup. As I've said, you should see first if your
data is not still in Entourage.
To answer to your second post as well: always perform backups at regular
intervals. See this page for more information:

If there are any further questions, post back!
Please help. I've just lost a whole Project! I'm new to Entourage and
may have deleted it but it's not in the desktop trash. I've tried
Finder and Searchlight and there's nothing. Where can it be? Is it lost
forever. I'm crushed.
