how do I recover deleted photos?
I have a folder entitled 'new folder' if it matters, on my desktop with sub folders containing pictures. I was deleting folders that I didn't need and thought I had already copied and saved the folder into my pictures folder but didn't figure out that I didn't until after I deleted the folder and emptied the recycling bin. Are there any programs that will help recover the pictures? They are really important!
Thanks!

Any of the following will help you. Recommend trying Digicam first if you are only recoveriing photos. It's important when doing recovery,that you save your recovered files onto an external storage device, such as a USB hard drive. Saving onto the same drive during the recovery process may accidentally overwrite your lost photos before they've been recovered, losing them forever. See the following:

I do recommend Recuva as a file restoration program especially since it is free.
Using system restore will NOT bring back the files as they are unaffected. The only resources that are backed up by system restore are:
Registry
Files in the Windows File Protection (Dllcache) folder
Local user profile
COM+ and WMI Databases
IIS Metabase
The list of file types and directories to be included or excluded from monitoring by System Restore can be customized on Windows Me and Windows XP by editing %windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml.
Other than that, as long as you don't write over the space on the disk that originally contained the pictures, you should be able to recover them using recuva.
With H-Data Recovery Master, you can recover deleted photos or deleted picture file folder easily. However, you must make sure the data haven't been overwritten.
Photos and other files you deleted from computer(even deleted from recycle bin or Shift and delete) were not erased permanently.They are just inaccessible or invisible.The space your deleted files located on is marked as free space that can be occupied or taken by new data.Therefore,you can recover your deleted files with data recovery software. Asoftech data recovery is such kind of software.It can recover data after deeply scanning your hard drive to look for lost data you accidentally deleted.
By the way,you can download it and scan your hard drive for free to preview whether your deleted files can be recovered.It will show you the file name,type,date and size of your files and thumbnails for your pictures that it found on your drive.
