please help me
those files are very important to me. I need them back. =(

First, turn off your computer and don't plan on using for awhile. There's a few programs out there that could help, Norton UnErase, DiskWarrior may even find it. I can't think of more now someone else may be able to help you though. There are places that can get stuff off of your drive that was about 3 years old but they'll charge you an arm and a leg (I'm thinking of DiskSavers)

Did you try doing a search for one of the file names that was in the folder?
