I just deployed an ASP.NET MVC application to IIS 7 running on Win 7 Professional. I wanted to make sure some old files got deleted with the update, so I unchecked "Leave extra files on destination (do not delete)". I protected and backed up the App_Data folder, but to my disgrace I forgot about a HUGE folder of important uploads! I just did not think it through.. On top of that the system backup had failed and is now unable to restore. Please give me some hope :/ These uploads are customer order history. They would have to be manually uploaded again one at a time if I cannot retrieve the uploads folder. They are not in the recycle bin.

Do you have any restore points available?

If so, look at the properties of the root folder if there are any previous versions available.

  • Thanks good idea. I ended up recovering about 90% with the recuva utility I downloaded. I was really freaking out there for a bit. – Benjamin May 03 '13 at 16:30
