Thats not the news I hoped to hear. Hopefully my office have backed up copies.

Hello Ajaz,
Thank you for coming to the forum. My name is Fuad.
Note, I am a user like you, this is a user forum and not Microsoft directly.
The problem is that, once you delete an item, and it goes to the go to deleted items, and you go to recover deleted items link, in the deleted items folder, and delete it from there, it cannot be recovered ever again.
I am very sorry.
If there is anything else on this subject you have a question on, do let me know.
Best Regards Fuad
