Hi Robert
Unfortunately, I already re-copied the most recently downloaded files
to the hard drive again.
I started the process before realizing I was in fact doing my own
"secure delete" by doing this.
I downloaded Data Rescue II as you suggested but in demo mode it only
downloads 1 file up to 5MB.
I will keep it in case I need it again.
I can re-download some of the files I lost (.avi) as I already had 1/2
converted for iPhone use and saved in iTunes as well as on the WD HD.
Thank goodness I recently upped my off peak limit to 20GB.
Thanks anyway.
Andrew

Hi All
Can anyone suggest a way to recover files I accidentally deleted
from my WD 500GB external hard drive mounted on my 24" iMac?
I am running OSX 10.5.7.
The files were about 18GB of downloads and took ages to get. I
thought I was deleting the originals from the Mac not the copies.
The originals were already gone.
I have emptied the trash, but did not use "Empty Securely"
Thanks
Andrew
URGENT ... IMPORTANT
Do NOT write anything to the external drive !
Obtaim an additional external drive for recovered files
or make sure you can save recovered file on your iMac.
