Hi, Pj - yeah it isn't looking good - but especially painful when self
inflicted
thank goodness I had the habit of reviewing photos pretty soon after
taking them.
and then there are the 500,000 or so photos I have as slides and prints
from 40 years for film work. so things are not so terrible.

Ann, if you defragged the disk, the files are now pretty much
unrecoverable. While some of the space used by the files may not have
been overwritten, the directory structures have all been rewritten.
Anything left will most likely be recoverable only as fragments.

thanks for all your input guys,
Attila you were most helpful...
Just FYI everyone -
The dumb thing I did was to click/say "yes" when it asked if I wanted
to really really really delete - because I thought I was deleting a
duplicate folder.
I think I'm probably screwed because I defragged thinking it would know
the difference between always was empty and hidden deleted files.
FIRST thing I'm doing is getting another drive and copying everything
to it as it is now... then see if I can recover anything from the
original one.
but at the moment there is too much going on that has to be done
in other areas to worry about 1 years worth of photos that I probably
will forget I took next year anyway.
All your letters and info is being saved
back to cleaning house, selling on ebay, gathering christmas items,etc.

Correct. I was assuming she did that, otherwise it's a very easy fix.
