I used an "incomplete" folder for a number of download services, including Sabnzbd. When it prompted me to delete orphans this morning, I didn't make the connection that it listed not just Sabnzbd downloads, so I accidentally deleted a few in-progress downloads that have been going for weeks.
Is there any way to restore the deleted orphans? I'm on a Windows 10 PC.

Re: Restore orphans?
Oh that's some bad luck...
No there is no way to get it back, SAB's delete doesn't move it to trash or anything, but deletes directly.
If it's very valuable you could always try one of those file-recovery software packages, but that might be too late already.

Re: Restore orphans?
That's okay. I should have paid closer attention. Lesson learned.
