What about the Recycle bin?
that but if that fails, as in he emptied that shit, it is still recoverable becuz of how hdd works. when u delete a file, it doesnt wipe off the hdd, it is jus ignored but if ur a person that does drive wiping, u sir are indeed.....fucked. ill get back to u with a program
EDIT:
this may help u out

the program i sent u worked, jus jus tested it. if u on windows, u need to go to the RECYCLER folder after u set it to quick scan and have the drive scanned, in there however, i noticed its the VERY LAST bundle of stuff i deleted in there that are there. Thats because when u add more data to delete it works just like the drive wiping, it overwrites the space of the ignored file so u may/may not find your file all the same. but i found all my most recent files that have been emptied. I cudnt recover it in the trial but i noticed i could open it, so to work around, open the file with winrar, do a save as and u have ur old file back. Hope this helps u out.
