Dumb question/suggestion from a Mac guy:
On a Mac, when you delete files they go into the Trash which is just another
folder (directory) in the file system. They stay there and can be dragged back
to your photo folder or wherever until you empty the Trash. I vaguely recall

No. They may be in a recycle bin on the external drive.

If you haven't emptied the Recycle Bin folder, they may still be in there.
Right click the Recycle Bin and select explore.
If they're in there right click the folder and select restore.
That will put them back to where they were before you deleted them.

USB drives are not network drives, but you do have to watch out for the
message such so is too large to fit in the recycle bin. Do you want
to delete it permanently? (or some such).
I think they may still be recoverable even then if you don't write

The dumb thing I did was to click/say yes when it asked if I wanted to

Ann, if you defragged the disk, the files are now pretty much
unrecoverable. While some of the space used by the files may not have
been overwritten, the directory structures have all been rewritten.
Anything left will most likely be recoverable only as fragments.

Yeah, but with XP when files are too large to fit in the recycle bin you
get a warning message asking if you're sure you really want to delete it.
