I don't suppose there is any way to restore your Simba folder to a previous time?
Was trying to update to lape and forgot to save my scripts folder and now the script I've been working on the past week is gone lol, so much effort wasted

My last system restore point is 4 days ago, before I began work on the script, which is really the only reason I would like to get my scripts folder back

^ For me it isn't activated. So I'm going to assume it wasn't activated for OP either.

You deleted it?

If so you could use some recovery program. As you may or may not know, when you delete something, windows doesn't really 'delete' what you told him to. He only remove the address from the allocation table.

Yes it does delete it. It depends on how long it was there. Memory is usually written over when the operating system needs it. If it did write over it, no recovery program can get it back. It can get back fragments of that memory to tell what the name was, or what you searched but it cannot recover the actual items.

Look at Zeroing memory or search how many restores it'll take to completely wipe a harddrive of ancient data.

Found this on google, seems like it would work.

Was available but it takes me back to my last restore point which was, again, a little too far back

I meant that windows doesn't delete it right away. It only reclaim the space. But yes, since that space is now free it will write over it if it feels the need to.

Balls. 1k lines worth of work I was proud of goneee :( Oh well, it'll be quicker to write this time around seeing as I know what I've already done I suppose...
