How can I recover deleted files

I deleted a file which was on Seagate but not on my computer. I want to recover the file. But I see no recycle bin or anything like this. Is it possible to recover the deleted file from my Seagate? The file is my wedding photos, which my wife spent hours and hours organizing. I deleted it, so she is not happy! Any help much much appreciated.

So long as the file has not been overwritten there are many utilties available free that will accomplish this. I have not made this mistake in awhile so i cannot tell you the best current program, but I have used this one before
http://ntfsundelete.com/ and it is quite nice. Keep in mind if you have continued to use the drive and the space that file occupied has since been overwritten you will not be able to recover it.

OK! It is absolutely possible to get deleted files back from a Seagate drive as long as these deleted files are not rewritten by anything new.
The deleted files are not immediately erased off from the drive after the deleting process. It is only the space used to save these files that has been marked as "available space" for the new data. So, as long as they are not overwritten by anything new, you do have a big chance to get them all back.
To recover your deleted files, you need a third party data recovery program that could successfully get back your deleted files.
In this regard, I would recommend you to use this drive data recovery freeware here:

Next times, you should always be carefully about your deleted files and always make data backups in case of similar data recovery problems.

Seagate Freeagent external Hard drive won't increase free space when files are deleted?

How are you deleting the files? If you're simply moving them to the trashcan/recycle bin then they're still taking space on your drive. Try emptying the trashcan/recycle bin.
