I have searched for the answer and have been unsuccessful in finding a solution.
Can someone please point me to information regarding recovering audio that I mistakenly deleted.
I'm running Win 7 pro. and Audacity 2.0 of course.
Thanks.

Re: Recovering unsaved track
Windows File Recovery is your Google search term.
When Windows deletes something, it just deletes the address. The data is still there. If you have a well-behaved, well defragged drive, a utility may be able to recover most of it.

I looked in the recycle bin first. But as always anything deleted from the Audacity program intentional or other wise has never ended up in my recycle bin.steve wrote:By default, Windows puts deleted files in the Recycle Bin.Lakeside wrote:Can someone please point me to information regarding recovering audio that I mistakenly deleted

2.0.0 is now a few years old. I recommend you use the current 2.1.0 from http://audacityteam.org/download.Lakeside wrote:I have searched for the answer and have been unsuccessful in finding a solution.

Audacity deletion always bypasses the Recycle Bin.Lakeside wrote:I looked in the recycle bin first.

If you bypassed the Recycle Bin when you deleted your file or have now emptied the bin, you can try file recovery software like Pandora. This assumes you have a Hard Disk Drive and not a Solid State Drive.
Or you can try Windows previous versions of files.

Argh, yes I'm flying with 2.0 and I have a SSD hard drive.
I'll update to 2.1

Re: Recovering unsaved track
Updated to 2.1 and downloaded a random windows file recovery program and the program didn't recover any aup files.
Is there another alternative ?
