I am making a application for cleaning junk files and somehow got all the files in the root directory in my WinMe deleted. All the folders and the files in them are still there, except those files that are in the root directory in my C drive. I used PC Inspector File Recovery program but all the files became empty and therefore I am unable to recover them. Only the filenames are there.

Can anyone tell me of any other ways to recover the deleted files? Are there any important system files that are in the root directory? Thanks.
