I deleted date from Olympus VN-4100PC

Once you have deleted files they are gone...there is no "RECYCLE BIN"...feel free to verify by checking at www.olympusamerica.com

YES, it is definitely possible to recover such kind of files deleted from your Olympus recorder.

First things first: DO NOT take any more videos or audio with the recorder that you want to recover files from in case you may quite possibly ruin your chances of voice memo file recovery.

Then connect your recorder to a PC with a recovery program installed. Photo Recovery Software (also recover Voice memos, audio and video files) is right what you need to use if you are running Windows. If you are Mac OS X users, turn to Data Recovery for Mac.

But you should remember - the more you use your recorder, the less likely you may be able to recover the deleted files back! So STOP using the device ASAP. I hope this will help. Best regards!

If the recorder has not been used and the recording has not been overwritten someone may be able to do a flash dump on it,MAYBE,slim chance
