As the subject line reads.  I can't believe I did that. :pinch:  Does anyone know how to recover deleted files or know where they are placed.  I do have Recuva but I don't know where to point the search.  Or do I have to painfully search my entire HD?   

I believe items are actually deleted. They should really be sent to the Recycle Bin. Hopefully you can use something like Recuva.

I have a daily backup program, so usually I can recover some of my work.

Thanks @animagic for getting back to me.  That's such a bummer that files can go completely "poof" just like that.  Luckily most of my files were from Daz so back to the transformer I go!!:w00t:  I hope Reallusion could make some sort of way to send files to the recycle bin for retrieval in case of mistakes like mine.    

yeah I learnt long ago if you delete anything in the iClone library it's gone forever
unless you have a backup or use Recuva

@wendyluvscatz  This was my first time doing so and hopefully the last.  I do have Recuva and will probably do a deep scan of my C drive while I sleep just to give me peace of mind.  And I WILL BACK UP my RL file starting now! :D  

I use AOMEI Backupper and have it make daily backups. It is best to have some form of scheduled task, so you won't forget...:unsure:

That software sounds very useful, in general. Have you had success with it for other situations in general? How deep does this go in terms of recovering?

@dante: I use it only for backing up various contents. I have not used it for system restore, only to get individual files. BTW, I use an external drive for this, so it's separated. Some people do incremental backups so they can go back in time, but I don't do that. 

I have another software called Macrium Reflect that I have used to make system drive images (which reminds me that I should do that again).

Oh ok I see. Yeah my method is that I used to have a daily backup (of my Reallusion custom folder, and some other personal folders) to a separate internal drive (which for some reason no longer triggers), but also a weekly backup to a cloud drive. I know a week is a long time, but I guess I'm banking on nothing ever happening, and in the event it does, well I won't lose absolutely everything.
