Can't beleive it, never done anything this stupid. 
must have been a bit tired, whilst deleting another folder I accidentally deleted my 'my documents'
Cancelled it when I realised what was happening and only two folders are left, namely - my music and my photos, everything else gone, 40+ gbs worth. I turned my pc straight off and went to bed. I've had a browse of the forums is Recuva worth giving a go or is it all gone? Thankfully i've never had to attempt a recovery job.

Nah maybe he does. What you want to minimize is using the hard disk at all. What you ideally want to do is boot up the hard disk that had the stuff on it on another system as a slave and immediately attempt recovery assuming you do NOT have a backup. The more you use the HDD then the sectors start to get overwritten with new stuff making recovery less likely.
