Another victim of deleted file.. this time with a twist..

I created the file on my Surface using Office RT.. which is offline skydrive access.. since 8.1 ( im thinking it was always offline but they made SkyDrive accessible in the explorer menu after 8.1)

I upgraded my Surface and 2 PCs.. to 8.1.. then to complete the sync made offline access for my 2 PCs..

During this confusing I deleted a word document I was working on, through the mobile skydrive on my phone, I think.. anyhow..

I've used some free trial data recovery from various publishers and nothing showed up.. even ones that claim to be able to use network drives (the network drive never appeared, after making my Surface network capable, I mapped a drive ect..) So is there way to recover a file from my surface..?

That's an off question.. my real question is how does the skydrive work with surface.? and if I delete a file from a mobile device, or the Metro SkyDrive app..

does it go to the recycle bin of that PC..

Also I think the file is on my phone but I cant recover files from that either.. only the MiniSD card.. I have mine configured to the phone because my cheap Nokia 520 freezes a lot when it set to save files from SD.


* I don't know how, but I did a brief scan of the recycle bin and found the file I believe.. said it was recoverable but it was corrupt, I'm doing a deep scan on both pcs now..
