I have a win XP pro computer, and it had two accounts that nobody ever logged on with. The problem is that I deleted these accounts since nobody used them, but for some reason my brother had been saving his english papers in one of the accounts My Documents folder(i.e. c:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents). I was wondering if when you delete an account, if the data in these folders is backed up anywhere. He has a hard copy of the essays, but it is kindof a pain to retype all of them. Does anyone know if this data gets backed up when you delete an account. I believe it asked if I wanted to delete all the users settings and files when I deleted it and I said yes not knowing that my brother had saved something there. So, is there a way to recover this data?
Thanks for any replies even if it is just to say that the data is gone.
