Hi,

 

You could try a third party file retrieval software such as the free option on the link below.

 

http://www.piriform.com/recuva

 

You stand the best chance of retrieving this file by not doing anything on the PC which has had the file deleted, Install the above application on a USB drive using another PC and then use this to see if you can recover the deleted file.

 

Regards,
