I've never really had much use for programs that let you recover deleted files. I remember back in my DOS days, struggling with undelete programs and always being disappointed when a Word document I recovered was filled with errors. Well, times have changed, and when I heard that the makers of CCleaner, a system optimization program I use all the time, had released Recuva, I decided to take it for a spin.
I have to say, I like Recuva a lot. It's super-fast to install and to run. You just select a drive, and Recuva will scan for deleted files that have been deleted, including files that you've emptied from your recycle bin. If the file's recoverable, Recuva will tell you. If it's not, it will tell you that as well.
Recuva's not the only free undelete program around, but if you have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to the recycle bin, it's worth checking out.

Isn't that's what the recycle bin is for?
