Into the Ether

Last week I was trying to get together an online folio for my 'pretend job application.' I had one project that I did first year which I really loved but was unable to find on my computer. Weird. The whole folder for my digital design class was missing. After a little while searching through the endless docs on my computer panic started to set in as I realised it was no where to be found.
A few months back I transferred filed to a harddrive and then deleted them from my computer. It was done late at night and I know realise that I must have transferred the files I wanted and then accidentally deleted my digital design folder without actually having backed it up. The only copy I have are the images I posted to facebook which are poor quality. Wahhhh... Lately computers only seem to be making my life harder!

If anyone knows how to recover work from deleted trash please comment below and let me know. Cheers.
