Up to now I was using Office 2007, for Word, Excel, etc. and Windows Live Mail 2011 for mail Accounts, Contacts, E-mail and E-mail Folders with dozens Contacts, many Folders and Subfolders and hundreds if not thousands of stored E-mails.

Just bought Office 365 to replace Office 2007, including Outlook 2016 to replace Windows Live Mail 2011.  This will be installed in 2 of my Computers and 1 of my wife.

In my main computer, where I had the most of my Mail,  I decided to uninstall old products (Office 2007, WLM 2011 and many others that either I was not using or were unnecessary).  Big mistake from my part!

When I uninstalled WLM 2011 not only the app was deleted but also all the DATA associated with it.  Big mistake and extremely severe consequences as I wanted to migrate ALL of that to Outlook 2016. When after the deletion I looked for data I only found in the Recycle Bin a FLR  WLM** but empty and nothing else.  I was devastated and I have been keeping that computer powered down not to make the situation any worse.

My question now is:  Can someone from Microsoft using Remote Assistance Undelete my WLM 2011 data in that computer?  This is so important I would consider paying some money for it...

If this is not at all possible, I will regret my error and live with the results.  I can little by little recuperate the e-mails of my contacts, but I will loose for good many important information about my prior activities for many years via e-mail.

I have a suggestion for Microsoft Developers. When the uninstall of any App deletes the related Data a question could be asked to the user if he wants  to ALSO delete the Application data too. This question would had stopped me and potentially others before doing damages!  For WLM 2011 is to late but may be useful for other current applications.   Thanks for your comments and possible solutions, if there are any.  I will look for your comments and until the situation is settled I will keep that computer turned OFF.

Thanks and regards, Carlos

I will my computer power off until I hear from the Community, mainly fro Microsoft that I used with success for may years/
