Hello everyone,
A month ago, I unfortunately deleted some of my photos from my hard drive. I tried, without success, to recover them using various data recovery software.
Previously, I had used these photographs as personal images on Windows Live Messenger, and I was surprised to find that they were still present in my personal image gallery on the same software and that I could continue to use them even though I had deleted them from my hard drive.
Despite my limited knowledge of computers, I suppose these photographs are still on my computer since I can continue to use them as personal images on Windows Live Messenger.
But then, where are these images and how can I recover them? Where are the personal images stored in the Windows Live Messenger software?
Thank you in advance for shedding some light on this for me.

Good evening,
Personal images are located in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\your hotmail address\ObjectStore\UserTile
See you later

Thank you very much, Gaelle1.
Thanks to you, I was able to recover my precious photos. The size is indeed reduced, but the main thing is that they are not lost.
Once again, a big thank you. -
Very well :-)
