I accidentally deleted some of my useful files. The files were deleted and I could not find them in recycle bin. I want to know how can I get it back? I am using windows 8.1. All the files in My documents deleted using unlink in R. I try to using R-delete to recover, but it only can recover the file deleted from recycle bin not unlink using R. Thank you.

Though not being an expert of R, I assume that your file has been unlinked at the file-system level. You can't expect finding it in the recycle bin of your operating system. If it is very important, the only real solution is:

  • stop immediately doing anything with your computer;
  • take the time reading and understanding from another computer
  • try accessing your hard drive (or whatever) from another mounted filesystem/operating-system (boot with a USB stick for instance)
  • use some undelete tool adapted to your filesystem.

You don't tell about your operating system and OS; maybe there will be some tool usable from the mounted filesystem and it may be easier; but anyway, don't use your computer too much before doing it...
