Undeleting large ISO file

[Curly]

When I try to undelete a large dvd ISO file, the undelete plugin says that the file is 0 bytes. I get this with multiple undelete programs.
Any idea how to solve this?

[SelfMan]

This is because the place where the file was located has been overwritten.
If you have only a C:\ drive than the ability to recover deleted files is very low and decreases with the amount of free space on the hard drive.
(less free space = higher possibility of overwriting deleted content's allocated space)

There are several factors:
- page file
- temporary Internet files (browser cache)
- temporary files created by applications (*.tmp)

Any of these can cause the overwrite of the space.
This is the reason of the "Recycle" bin's existence.
