    cmd issue: delete of files


    Hello,

    I don`t know if I posted this in the correct section but will proberly hear soon enough if this has to be moved.

    So my problem here is that I made a folder on my F: disk named Downloads.
    From my Firefox all downloads go to that folder.

    Now recently I moved the download folder with all contains to my D: disk.
    Only forgot to also change this in my firefox so i downloaded a file and it was put in the download folder on my F:.

    Now my problem i couldn`t delete the folder on my F: didn`t had the permission so i opend a elevated cmd and typed "del D:\Downloads".
    For those who notice i deleted the contains of my downloads map instead of the map i wanted to delete.

    Is there a way to change back anything deleted from the del command in cmd?

    Hope to receive a quick answer.

    BTW: don`t have backup of the files ironically i was busy with that yesterday but thought to skip it another day.

    Stop using that computer if your using that now to post this.
    Download Recuva - Portable version from other pc or cell and run it. Cancel the wizard walkthrough if offered.
    Select D drive at the main screen and select scan. If deleted files not shown, try deep scan.
