re: Need some serious computer help. Undeleting something important

I am sure the data was actually saved as a seperate file...if you can find out the name or even the format of that file, you may be able to do some searching to find it...

also, I am not familiar with how icloud works, but is there a possibility that it could be stored there and recovered?....

ETA: I do agree that this would probably get some better answers on the tech board...
