Firstly make sure you do not change the disk or drive on which the files are deleted.

Then you should check your Recycle Bin and see if the files you want is inside it. If not, then you can resort to some apps designed specifically for recovering deleted files. Such as Advanced NTFS Undelete at http://www.ntfs-undelete.com or EasyRecovery at http://www.ontrack.com. There can be many by searching on Google.com or Yahoo.com, but I only recommend the above two which are proved to be the best among the all.

Kevin:

RAM is temporary and is cleared when the computer is turned off.

I believe the Ram in your computer also stores information, if that is correct how do you clear that?

RAM is cleared the moment you turn your computer off.

Well,I have been using System Mechanic Software to delete all the temporary files,is it possible that the files which are being deleted are removed permanently.

You'd have to find out from System Mechanic how they delete files. My guess is they do it the quick way, which means that the files might still be recoverable. Using SDelete afterwards to thoroughly overwrite unused space would take care of it.

I should add, that all your files and the rest of the system are in the shadowstorage for as long as the shadows (recovery points) are not being overwritten by more recent shadows. And that can take a several weeks with a large OS disk partition. But that can also be a blessing if you need to recover files that were accidently deleted. If you like to know more about it, have a look at my little tutorial here http://www.winvistaclub.com/forum/windows-tips-tutorials-articles/26995-recover-lost-files-shadow-explorer.html

Is the Windows Cache the same as temporary internet file folder?

Depends on the context where you're hearing it, but in general, no.

Add my name to the large chorus of your fans....just want to mention here that your analogy of the vacant apartment with furniture remaining, but the name tag being gone from the door is superb. Even online banking which is supposed to be encrypted, triggers my paranoid need to "wipe the free space"....I often wondered why the "free space" needed wiping if it was indeed "free".
Why, oh why, has such free (pun alert) use of truncated language been so successfully programmed?
No response needed, it's a rhetorical question without any real answer.

Best Regards.
