i have tried Recuva and Stellar Phoenix, and wel about 25 recovery softwares. its looking to be impossible. but files never truly get deleted right? so they must be there somewhere.

i will try the rest you named.

i deleted my documents and it said the file was to big to put in the recyle bin, i think i pressed yeah anyway. and no recovery software seems to be able to find them now.

Hello adamdavis,

Sorry to say but data can not be retrieved by any recovery software once it is overwritten. Your deleted documents must be overwritten by any other such data, otherwise the software which you are using are capable to recover the data.

You didn't mention the Runtime Software apps (RecoverMyFiles, GetDataBack), but if you haven't tried them, you should. I have generally found them to be the best ones out there.
