Yeah, I've had that happen to me too. Not today though.
I'm not sure yet if what happened was better or worse than losing all of my work due to an unexpected power outage because I failed to "save" along the way.
No folks, today I lost YEARS worth of emails. I'm talking emails that went back to 2009. UGH!!!
I was going through my email folder, sorting through some things, looking for some other things, and before I knew it, I accidentally pressed the button that deleted ALL emails. Everything...GONE.
I immediately went to the "recover deleted email" option, but it didn't work.
So I had to go to the "trash" folder and try to fish through the emails to handpick the ones I wanted back. As you can imagine, that go frustrating and I came to the realization that I've simply gotta start from a "clean slate."
Who knows? Maybe it was a good thing. I mean really...who needs emails from 2009? I DO!!!
*sigh* Lesson learned.
Okay. Enough about me. How 'bout you? Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever lost important docs or pics on your computer? If so, were you able to retrieve them or are they "gone for good?"
Talk to me (especially if you have suggestions for an easy way to get my emails back)!
Til next time...

no deleted items or trash folder that they may still be in? forgot is your email yahoo, hotmail, gmail?
ReplyDeleteokay went to my address book. on gmail you should have a trash folder. usually anything I delete goes there before it goes away for good. I'm on my cell phone but I'll email you a screen shot for now and when I get home to my computer send a screen shot from there too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips Kyra! This was my Hotmail account that I've had FOREVER. There are 7000+ emails in the "deleted" folder. I went through last night and "recovered" as much as I had the patience for. Hopefully I got everything that was important. I tried clicking on the "restore deleted items" button so that ALL of the deleted emails could be restored, but that didn't do anything.
