2Are you running VSS on this server? Do you have snapshots enabled? – jscott Apr 10 '12 at 16:09

Files deleted from a networked drive do not go to the recycle bin on the client or server, they are simply gone. If the files are missing, you will need to restore them from some backup. VSS snapshots would be the quickest way to restore them, if you have them enabled on that volume.
