Is it possible to recover deleted files on a computer which has no internet access? BTW apparently the files were deleted a few months ago, I don't know if anything has been deleted since.

    you are being distracted by the advert for the 'priority support service', hover your mouse over the "Buy online and Download" button, then move the cursor down about 2 1/2 inches and instead click the link to download the free version (2,354kb from either file hippo or piriform)

    You're clicking on the "Priority Support' link, which is a commercial one.
    Just below are two alternative sites, just use the filehippo link.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Also it doesn't matter how much has been deleted since just how much has been written to the drive (eg installed programs, extra files/photos/data, web downloads, web surfing -writes to disk cache).

    If the file fragments get overwritten they are gone
