Thanks for replying Tony but it's 300 MBs of pictures and as I mentioned
it is easy to see that they are not in my XP computer's recycle bin...
probably something to do with the fact that they were deleted from an
external flash drive.
I also googled the freeware available but as I said I am loathe to
install any of them without a personal recommendation because of the
possibility of catching some kind of malware in the process...
Freeware are often just trojan devices... as a practice, I don't install
any of them unless I have a personal recommendation.

I just mistakenly deleted a bunch of Canon digital jpg. pics on a SD
card that I erroneously thought I had previously copied to my XP Pro
computer.
I haven't unplugged the card, turned off the computer or written to the
card since, can't see any immediate undelete choices and the images
aren't in the computer's trash can nor does the card have one that I
can see.
I see there are a number of free utilities for such retrieval but am
wary of installing one without recommendation for fear of installing
malware.
Can anyone recommend a bona fide utility software(hopefully free...) or
means to recover the jpgs?
