I accidentally lost 3 weeks of photos, how do I recover them?
I thought I had downloaded the pictures from my camera's SD card to my computer, and then I deleted them from the SD card. But I was in a rush, and so I can only assume I never did copy them to my computer, because they're nowhere to be found (I search my hard drive). It was 3 weeks of personal family photos and work related photos lost from dates in the first week of July to the last week of July. I only noticed a few days ago. My trash has been automatically deleting everything I put in it now for weeks (I didn't tell it to do that). So they're gone. Is there any way to get them back? Preferably the most economical way that works?
