Yes, almost any data recovery program will recover the files from an emptied recycle bin. But as most file recovery software only recovers files in a blanket or mass operation, you may easily find yourself faced with the task of opening 10,000 files before you come to the one that is holding the information emptied from your Windows recycle bin. This creates an impossible scenario when attempting to recover deleted Word document information that was located in just one folder. The reason for this is very simple, when you place a file in the Windows recycle bin and consequently empty the bin, Windows actually renames that file and places it in a new folder. The new name on the file is basically just a hash number and is in no way references to the original information.

Better programs for data recovery such as that offered by Remo software presort all the files recovered from your emptied Windows recycle bin so that you are able to locate exactly the information you accidentally deleted merely by recovering and opening only the files that had previously been located in the Windows recycle bin.
