A few years ago I bought a product called "Search and Recovery" made by "iolo technologies" that has worked very well from time to time when I have needed it. It has the standard undelete utility that finds data that hasn't been wiped and can reconstruct directories/folders and the files in them from what it finds. Cost was $40. Got it at Microcenter. Search and Recover 4 is available from http://www.iolo.com/ for $40 now.
Generally when something is deleted from removable media, it doesn't go in the trash. Most of the time when one deletes files from removable media, one is trying to recover usable space. When you move stuff from its folder to the trash folder you don't recover any usable space. You have to empty the trash to recover the usable space. That's when Search and Recover is handy.
