I was writeing a story, and I was in the like.......4th chapter, when I had just saved it, and I was makeing room in my documents thingy, when I accidently pressed delet, ad i didn't realise untill I emptied my recycle bin! I have lost it forever now! How could I be so silly? And I am really not in the mood to tpe it all up again!!! So, right now I am really stressed, I dunno weather I shuld just wrewrite the whole soty on paper, or just don't write it again.....? I already have tooo many stories on the go, but thsi was the one that started them all, that gave my very active imagination a boost, and now I have to either wre-write it, or juts continue on with the storys I have got at the moment.

Aw twitchy. I feel sorry for you. I have accidentally deleted many a school paper by accident. I think you should re-write it, but try and improve on your previous bits. Anyway, look on the brightside, with all that head-banging-off-wall, you're losing 150 calories an hour! so it's not all bad. (sorry, I have to have at least one joke per post otherwise tension builds up inside me and I have a mini-nervous breakdown, and thats not a joke.)

Since its a document it can probably still be recovered even when 'deleted' from the recycle bin. Just search for an undeleter.

Theres such a thing as that? Wow, wish I knew about that about 2 months ago when I deleted my english essay.. jot notes and all.

Anyways, if you want to rewrite it, rewrite it. As far as I know, you don't have a time limit, so take your time!

Even when you 'permanently' delete something a 'memory' of it is still there. Though half the time your comp will have already put data overtop of it making it useless.

if you know the documents file code you can search it out, how to get that however i dont know.

Thats happened to me many a time, I could never re-write it though, it never felt the same and I would always forget excactly what I wrote in certain parts. But if you really liked it and feel dedicated, then go ahead and write it over. May I ask about how many pages it was.

I dunno how many pages it is....

Aye, I fell your pain. Several months ago I couldn't sleep, so I started thinking about the story I was trying to write, and inspiration hit me. I got out of bed and began totally rewriting the story (including very detailed events leading up to my original opening scene) I was so into it that I typed for several hours without ever saving...
And then my computer froze up. My computer is tempermental and I could tell it was about to freeze up and die on me. I knew I would have to restart, and I tried hurriedly to save the story, but alas. I couldn't. It was gone.
Afterwards I tried to rewrite what I had written, but it didn't feel nearly as good, and I stopped wanting to even try.

I think I will carry on witht the storys I have got, then decide....

I share your pain. I was on about my third chapter and I did the same

That's gotta suck, I hate when that happens.

Try doing what the others have suggested, and see if you can get it back.

I will. Thanks you guys!

Doesn't Microsoft word have like a backup in case your computer crashes and when you load Word up again, your story is there? I thought I lost my book report before but I didn't...whew.

Microsoft Word has an auto save feature, but it only works if your computer crashes, not if you delete the document.
