Aren't there effective file undelete programs for MS-Windows? There certainly were for MS-DOS's FAT file system.
I don't know about effective, but there are NTFS undelete utilities. It was easier in the MS-DOS days, because there was only ever one process running that could touch the filesystem. But with a modern OS, even if you realise your mistake immediately there will be several background processes that might reuse the freed disk-space quicker than you can type undelete.
