    Hello,

    Today I have witnessed a RTC/road rage incident whereby the male has driven off without providing details. Police have been contacted and I have made them aware that I have dash cam footage of the incident.



    I have viewed the footage on the mobile phone app, but as the footage was taking a long time to download, I have unplugged the camera so that I could plug it into my laptop and download the footage that way.



    I have viewed the footage on my laptop, but have got distracted before downloading the footage and when I have gone back 30 minutes later the footage has been overwritten I believe as it is not in the folder.



    The link to the footage is still in my ‘recently viewed’ section on documents on my laptop, however because the footage has moved/deleted, it will not open.



    Is there any way that I can get this footage back? It is very important and I am annoyed with myself for loosing it as it could have identified the person who was responsible.



    Many Thanks

    :)

    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
