Question:

Data Recovery Dos and Don'ts - After inadvertantly deleteing some important data, can I continue to use the computer system before I get it recovered?

Answer:

Not unless you want to run the risk of losing the deleted data. Once the deleted data is deleted, the data space (containing your deleted data) will be marked deleted but the contents is still intact. This data will be finally "blanket" over by new data. If you continue to use the computer system, you could be creating new data which finally overwrites your old data.
