Do not go for a System Restore: Windows System Restore is specially to restore the settings and configuration of operating system, but not to restore files. The process of system restore is not the same as a backup and it will not undo an emptied Recycle Bin. In fact, it will probably decrease the chances of recovering lost data, as it involves a restart and read/write activity.

Do not restart your computer: If you have already, don’t fret—all the data might not be over written. However, you should stop all those activities that reads and writes new or temporary data to the Windows disk. Basically, your file is still there. The only difference is that the space it was taking up has been marked as “free.” The file in its entirety will stay there until some other program needs to use the space.
