[Solved]: BIG problem, my pictures are gone?

Hey!
I'm working on a important project and I'm using CPG to presenting my pictures. I host my website from my own pc so I don't have to upload my pictures anywhere. Now I deleted an album from my site and when I looked in to the folder where I had saved all of my important files they where gone. So I learned the hardway that cpg deletes the files from the upload folder when it deletes them from the website. Now I didn't have a backup and i'm [really] screwed if I don't get those pictures back! Please help me to find my pic!

I'm not a newbie in missing files and computers. I have a software that I usually have used to recover files that where deleted also from resycle bin but now I can't even find my pics with that software. So when cpg deletes the pictures is there anyway to get them back? I think there is something seriosly [messed] up in the code if it deletes the pics with a such algorithm that they are totally deleted and the clusters rewritten.

And this project has to be ready by noon tomorrow! :(

CPG deletes files using PHP's unlink method, which would use a method designed for your operating system.  We don't have anytrhing to do with the way the deletion occurs, though I would have asssumed it would have limited the deletion to the record in the FAT. I would suggest searching some more for the filenames with your utility, while keeping in mind that CPG prepends a 'thumb_' and 'normal_' designation to the resized files.
