Is there a way to recover the data from MS Excel. The data has been deleted, but not the file itself. I thought of autosave, but I dont think that is going to work in this case. Is the data stored in a location, in the same way as recycle bin, or in any form, after deletion. Its quite important we get this data back.
(By the way, I didnt do it, it was a friend!) |

At that point, do not save or write anything on the hard drive.
When you delete a file, only the pointer(header? address? what is the correct term?) containing the physical location is deleted. So it's somewhere on the hard drive, just not accessible. You'd need a software that does "Un-Delete" to do that. I don't know if there's any free software or if they're worth it, though. |

HFS+ calls it a "catalog node ID", ("CNID"), or specifically just a "file ID" or "folder ID". |

Its Ok, it wasnt a huge amount, just about 110 rows, which we have managed to rewrite out. So no biggie, just a bit of a dopey friend!
