Q: accidentally deleted files from trash- how can I recover the videos?

Can deleted trash files be recovered without purchasing a data recovery program?

I was working on a Project and one video was off of a file on a sd card. I didn't realize it had not been imported into my library. I deleted the files of the card and emptied my trash, to then realize I was missing a video on my project... Can I recover that file? Is it possibly archived somewhere, and/or can I bring back deleted files from the dead?

Please help- tx

    if the files have been deleted in the trash and you have no occurrence of them in there you could try what you did not purchase: a data recovery program. Past that the more you use the computer there less likely you will recover anything, and no software can make any guarantee it will work.
