When you delete a file, Windows only marks the file as deleted, but doesn't actually remove it from your system. Those files are only truly deleted (well, replaced actually) when other data is saved to the same location on your hard drive.

There are some good software tools out there that will scan your system for deleted files. In many cases they can recover deleted files, even if they've been moved to the Recycle Bin or if the drive has been formatted.

File Recover from PC Tools is one such program that can find files that were deleted and will allow you to recover them.

I was able to recover a year's worth of photos that I accidentally deleted from my wife's laptop, even after reinstalling Windows using the restore CD that came with her computer.

    If you deleted them from your hard drive, thats it boy. KAPUT! They are gone. Try to see if the recycle bin has them.

    If you deleted them from the Itunes program, thats fine as long as you didnt select the option of deleting the files as well. In which please go back to my first paragraph.

    Check your ipod. Maybe you still have the songs there. If that is the case, go to www.cnet.com and look for an ipod recovery program. They are free and you can recover your songs from your ipod.

    1. Are these songs you purchased from Itunes or uploaded your self?

    2. Did you send them to the recycling bin or were they deleted from your IPOD when it sync'd?
