9941	2001-03-13 06:22:00	I just downloaded 'SeeknClean' in oreder to help clear out some of the clutter on my hard-drive. Now that I have done this, is there any way to recover some of the files that I've now (unwittingly) deleted? I know they're there somewhere, I just don't quite know where. HELP!!!	Guest (0)

PC World ran an article about this a few months ago, you may want to fish it out. You could try booting off a dos 6.22 boot disk and using the DOS Undelete command. (if your're running FAT16 on wintendo9x, you'll also lose long filenames too)	Guest (0)

However if you carry on using the computer it may write over the top of the file. Exactly the same thing happened to me with Macfee -dog something. It said it was perfectly safe to use on your system, so I trusted the program and hit Clean, and lost 500 meg of files. I had to reinstall everything again. Some stuff was unreplaceable. never again will I use a clean up program on trust.	Guest (0)
