Today, my brother deleted all traces of the novel I've been working on for three years from my laptop. The reason? When I was born I "stole all of Mum and Dad's attention." He's 24. FML

In return, put a pillow over his face because "He's sucking up all the good air. "

Delete that ****** from your life. If he hasn't got over it by now, he never will.

If you download a free program called recuva, you can get back any deleted file, even if it's a really OLD deleted file.

What a jerk. That's not ok. I'm so sorry

As long as you haven't started a new document with the same name you can use data-recovery tools to pull back most/all of your novel Gl

Always have a backup. What if the computer had crashed or been stolen?

I've personally worked on a book before and know it's hard work and a lot of editing. **** your brother. He's family and all but if he's holding a grudge about this and will delete your work then what other ways is he willing to hurt you? FYL OP.

My uncle works with computers, he could retrieve it all for you, don't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone close to you you can trust to do it, if not, my uncle does things through remote access from his work computer as well as phone.

Always have a backup and use password protection.
