If you emptied to recycling bin , then thats bad news. If you did not empty it, then just (right mouse) click on the recycling bin, and select the option to restore. It will restore it.\n\nIf you DID empty the recycling bin, then there are programs that might retrieve it for you.\n\nFor example, check out this site:\nhttp://www.pctools.com/file-recover/?ref=google_fr

If you have emptied the recycle bin{I assume you have} than you will have to install some recovery software such as undelete pro. Go to http://www.download.com and type "File recovery" in the search box. A list of softwares will appear. Download a trial version of some popular software{A red popular written in front of a software name means it is a popular software}, install it and use it. Please read the manual before you attempt to do it, do not create any new favourites  or delete anyother until you have succefully restored the lost folder and also avoid writing anything on the disk on which folder was stored. If possible install recovery software in a different partition. Good luck!

If none the above methods work, you can try restarting your computer in safe mode and then try to delete the file.\n\nTo start in safe mode, restart your computer. Press F8 continuosly during re-boot until you see the start-up option screen. Use your up/down arrows to select the safe mode option. After your desktop shows, go to your recycle bin and try delete again.

Look in your trash folder.  If it isn't there it is gone.

go into windows explorer.  see if you can locate the program and 'delete' it.  you may be able to drag and drop to the recycle bin if you have the w/e window at a partial size.  once you get in there, if you only remove part of the program, you may mess something else up.\nbe careful, this is a very sensitive place to go and can cause an awful lot of problems if you don't know what you are doing.  and yes, i have done this more than once, both successfully, and unsuccessfully, so make sure you have a restore point, in case things don't work as you expected.\ngood luck.

In Windows XP, if you have the Desktop Clean Up wizard checked, your unused desktop icons will be removed every 60 days. They are placed in a folder (usually on the desktop itself) called "unsused desktop shortcuts". You can restore these items back to your desktop. To access the wizard to manually control your items, do the following:\n\n1. Open Display in Control Panel. \n2. On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop. \n3. Under Desktop cleanup at the bottom, you can check or uncheck the box to enable or disable automatic cleanup.\n\nIf you are using another version of Windows, you should be able to locate a similar tool.
