How do i undelete a file i accidently deleted?

The first thing to do is check in the recycle bin to see if it is there. Read our article on restoring files from the recyle bin. If it is not there then you'll need a file recovery program and will have to see if that can recover the file. PC Inspector offer a free file recovery program called File Recovery 4 that is worth downloading. Generally Windows XP simply removes files from its records of files without destroying the actual data, the data will remain on the drive untill that part of the drive is used again. If you have a relativly empty drive then chances are that files removed from the recycle bin wont get over written untill the drive gets filled up with other files.
