Recovering a deleted game?

[Coolio]

I recently (3 or so hours ago) deleted a game from my computer. Since my recycle bin is set to 1gb of space, I had to permanetly delete the game. Now, I'm like "oh wtf why did I do that" and I want to restore the game. I would install it again, but right now my friend has the disk. So, how would I restore the game? I deleted the folder, rather than uninstalling from the Control Panel.

System Restore can fix that.

'm sure I don't have a restore point from 3 or 4 hours ago.

It restores to your later computer restart-based update. It'll remove anything you recently installed, but will restore your game, if you had it restored if you currently had it installed while you updated.

I installed it this morning.

You cannot just reinstall it with a disc?

Recuva didn't do crap. :c

I'll wait until I get my game back.
