Almost lost everything and a tip if you deleted files accidentally:

This monday I was out for breakfast and left my PC on. Took lot more time than I expected to get back home, was for 5 hours out. When I came back to star working ALL MY WORK FOLDER WAS GONE. Just gone. Everything else was there and there's no sign of malfunction on my computer at all.
Almost cried. But got fast at google and downloaded a file recovery program. It scaned and found as recent deleted files, the entire folder. I have no idea what happened but... my cat walking on my keyboard.
so the first tip is lock your computer when you're away. I used to do that before.. just lost the habit. with simple shortcut windows+L you lock it.

Well, first I coudn't find a free software untill I saw this Windows File Recovery. My life was saved, it recovered everything. But it came all mixed up, unorganized. looked for other program and found RECUVA, this one have the option to keep the file path when recovers it. all good now! phew, I can breath again

if you delete files and want to recover it:
- do NOT save anything at the partition where the files was
- download Recuva, good and free software.

and lock your computer when your away! if you have pets or don't. You could have asshole ghosts in your house.
