help! My daughter just deleted 4 gigs of photos

Ok, i think my 3 year old has just managed to delete a folder with 4 gigs of jpegs in. And then she must have pressed Enter to 'permanently' delete them. Is there anything i can do? I've tried one or two recovery programs with no success. Anyone? Please? This is 3 years of family pictures and whilst i do have a backup, the backup hasn't been updated for quite a long time

ok, panic averted. It appears that rather than deleting them, she simply moved them to another folder, which is why they were not showing up on any of the undelete programs i suppose. Phew! Thanks any way for looking
