Today, the main file and backups of the book I've been writing for 2 and a half years mysteriously vanished. It turned out my mum decided that me spending so much time in my room must mean I'm watching porn, and so she trashed everything. FML

Hi guys, OP here. To all of you who say this was a bit ambiguous, I ran out of space, so let me explain in more detail. I had 3 separate USBs, one of which I carry around my neck to prevent this from happening. Everything was clearly labelled and everyone was aware that I was writing a book. As for the USB around my neck, labelled "Confidential - **** off", I took it off for a shower, and when I came back... Poof! Gone. To those of you saying I should move out, I'm 16, so no chance of that happening. And when I said "Trashed" I meant literally gone. Everything downloaded onto a separate hard drive and removed while I was out of the house. As to how she guessed my password, I may never know. But yeah, this is my follow up, hope this clears things up somewhat.

Take it to an IT shop, deleted files can be recovered. And what the hell is her problem even if you had been watching ****...

There is still hope, even though she deleted it, it will still be on the hard drive unless another file has been written over it. Take it to an IT shop ASAP.

Disk recovery service. Next time password protect your computer and store multiple copies of your book on a usb drive, another computer etc.

you're ******* retarded, a backup on the same drive does literally nothing. of the computer dies, fires what? you have a useless backup that you can't get to. you should have had a backup on dropbox [ it's free] and one I. a flash drive [ it's like 5 bucks]. if you are to stupid to properly back things up I'm sure your book couldn't be that great and nobody will miss it.

Buy a small USB drive that will fit on your keyring, back up important files to it. Just don't lose your keys!
