But alas not the one I wanted, I have several locations where I do backups: D:\ and Floppy drive and the restore from D:\ only had 3 names missing on family tree so that's so bad.

Think I learnt the trick of deleting files from PF1, Shift key and Delete Key, quite fatal that one!.

Thanks to all who gave suggestions.

Lurking.

Shift-Delete bypasses the Recycle Bin on a hard drive. If the file hasn't been overwritten, recovery software should still be able to find it. Did you save any other files to your flash drive after deleting?

On my system the flash drive and the flash cards in the card reader don't have Recycle Bins. I'm not sure if a recycle bin is even possible for removable storage.

Had a few previous backups to different drives, that are only a few entries short, and I have those on paper to make things right again.

Thanks for your reply.
