Deleted Microsoft User Data for Entourage- please HELP!!

I believe I deleted my Microsoft User Data for Entourage. Is there a way for me to get it back? I thought I backed it all up to my MYBOOK, external hard drive, but apparently It only accepted some of the items in the folder! (and not the User Data one!)
Any way to reverse this or find it after the trash was emptied??
It has ALL of my emails, contacts, saved emails, etc
PLEASE HELP
I will be forever grateful!

Basics of File Recovery
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • In using Office Mac 2011 I noticed that there is 3 gigs of data under Documents/Microsoft User data for Message Sources.  Anyone know what this is and if it can be deleted?

    In using Office Mac 2011 I noticed that there is 3 gigs of data under Documents/Microsoft User Data for meassage sorces.  Does anyone know what these files are and can they be deleted?

    Hi SDP1,
    Do you use Outlook or Entourage? If so, that's where all of your emails are stored. If you don't use either of those applications I'd go digging through the folders and see where all the space is tied up. Check the Identifies folders, that's probably where everything is located.

  • Deleted Microsoft User Data, now FileMaker Pro, EndNote Won't Launch...

    Yesterday I was trying to clean off my HD, and I was basically cleaning stuff out of Documents, Music, and Pictures. When I came across the "Microsoft User Data" I figured I don't really use microsoft apps, (have them installed but don't use them), I deleted that folder.
    Now Word (2004) runs fine. But FileMaker Pro 8.0 Advanced, and EndNote 9.0 won't launch at all. Neither one gives any error message. They both bounce in the dock a couple of times and then just stop. I actually reinstalled EndNote 9.0 (an upgrade install), and it still doesn't lauch.
    Can I get those files back? If it's not the Microsoft User Data, then what is the problem? If re-installing doesn't fix the problem then what can I do?
    The only other thing I can think of was that I installed the security updates last night and iTunes 7.2. I can't figure how that could have done it but you never know.
    FileMaker is key to my research (grad student in archaeology), and I'm crippled without it.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    What exactly is that data?
    AFAIK, it contains the registration data for your copy of MS components. You'll get a better answer at the MS newsgroups: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
    Is there any way to repair the link or lost files?
    Not unless you have a backup or want to expend bucks with something like Data Rescue.
    Would a copy of the old User Data be found in any of my other accounts on the computer?
    Not likely. It's probably user specific.
    If I logged in to another user account on my computer and went and copied the MS User Data folder, and then replaced it in my main account would that have any effect?
    Once again, visit the newsgroups. That's where you'll get better answers.

  • Deleted my "microsoft user data" and emptied trash! how to recover!!

    I deleted my "microsoft user data" which contains everything to do with my entourage and then emptied the trash (not secure though). I know what was I thinking....I am running filesalvage. What do i do next in order to recover everything?? thanks!

    First, you need to understand that it's highly unlikely the recovered data will be intact. The longer it's been since you deleted it and the more you've used the computer during that time, the less likely it is that you'll be able to recover 100% of the data.
    This is because it's likely that the computer has written new data over the same sections of the hard drive that the old data used to occupy. This means that you may recover the folder only to find that Entourage tells you the database is "corrupt" or "unreadable" or something similar.
    (Also - I encourage you to switch to Apple Mail and IMAP accounts for your email. Using IMAP, everything stays stored on your server so that you never lose your email, no matter what happens to your computer. For more information, google IMAP and read about it.)
    Having said that, you'll find instructions for how to use FileSalvage at this website, roughly 2/3rds of the way down:

  • 10.9.1 used terminal with rm-rf and deleted my user data. Can I get back the deleted data? Help.

    10.9.1 used terminal with rm-rf and deleted my user data. Can I get back the deleted data? Help.  I really just need mail file and desktop files recovered.

    If data were on the SSD drive with TRIM - practically no chance. If HDD - use DIY recovery software such as DiskDrill or DataResue.
    As quickly as possible turn off the drive where deleted data.
    Use an external HDD with installed OSX for data recovery.

  • MIcrosoft User Data. What is it? And is it taking up Room?

    I got Office 2004, and I noticed this folder in finder titled
    Microsoft user data. Do I need it?
    Thanks everyone.

    Well, I wish I had read these threads before I decided to clean out my HD and delete my folder of Microsoft User Data. I don't really use Microsoft applications, so I figured I didn't need it.
    But I do use applications called EndNote (9.0), and FileMaker Pro 8.0 Advanced. After cleaning out my documents folders, including that pesky "microsoft user data" both of those applications will no longer launch.
    I don't know what to do.
    Actually, I still had Word 2004 installed. Tried to launch that and it worked just fine.
    HELP!!

  • Backing up live Microsoft User Data OK?

    Hello All,
    I am planning on integrating Home folders and syncing everyone's Documents directory say ever couple hours or so. Is it safe to synchronize the Microsoft User Data directory when the user is using Entourage? Has anyone had any issues with this or seen Entourage databases going corrupt from this?
    Thank you very much!

    Say the launchd job runs at 8pm every night that is if the computer is not already shutdown or asleep? Then the client will never get a backup. Also how would the client know not to start Entourage in the middle of a backup on mobile machines if they are working late from home..etc.? I could have an xcode window show progress, however, most clients would ignore reading this and probably just launch Entourage anyway, especially if they have hidden the progress window.
    IMHO...I think it would be better for them to manage their own Entourage backups, this way it is on them, and as it stands right now we are not currently backing them up, so anything would be better at this point.

    Hi,
    I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

  • Microsoft user data recovery

    I have accidently delete the microsoft user data folder and empty the trash bin, so I lost the import microsoft outlook email.
    how can I recover this folder? thanks.

    Unless you have a backup, from Time Machine or some other backup, then you probably cannot recover that folder. To have any hope of recovering your tracks, though, you need to immediately stop using your system and then go out and get a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) , Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), or File Salvage (SubRosaSoft). The chances generally aren't really good even so, particularly with Mac OS X which reuses space much differently than did earlier versions of Mac OS, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive and by no means guaranteed), such utilities are your only hope.
    Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
    Good luck.
