My genius self deleted the final draft of a vid along with the source files about a week ago and didn't notice until now. I've tried a few file recovery programs, but they aren't finding it. Does anyone know of a good program or a different way to recover a deleted file?

I've used:
Handy Recovery
PC Inspector
Undelete Plus
Ontrack Easy Recovery
Smart Undelete
Uneraser (this one I couldn't get to work)

I'm letting Recuva overnight because freaking out about a lost vid is exhausting.

The only thing I could suggest (that I don't even know will work) is restoring your PC from a restore point before the date you deleted everything - preferably the one closest to the deletion.

Its a Windows thing, but if you have that option turned off then yeah that won't do anything.

I did some weird thing where my own stupidity is what saved it. I had closed Sony Vegas improperly and it did an autosave because the program shut down before it was finished. I originally said no to opening the autosave project a split second before realizing it was my CVV vid that had been saved. I googled and found that I could still pull up the timeline. Then I redownloaded and converted the source, plugging it back in and adding in the last render I did of the project where the timeline wasn't filled in.
