Has anyone deleted video off their Canon camcorder? How do you recover video off your hard drive

[WHITETAIL]

By accident I've deleted video content off my Vixia HF21 Camcorder.  What is the best way to recover the video content. I know it can be done, but I don't know of the best software to use.  Anyone else dumb enough to do this like I have?  I thought I was deleting a playlist and deleted everything....and by everything...I mean like a years worth of video.  Ughhhh.

You can try to run some recovery software like Recuva and see where that gets you......Recuva by Piriform

Ran Recuva last night.  Unless I did something wrong....It didnt RECUVA anything.  It found files, but gave a message:

Fat 32, 60.26GB cluster size, 32768. Found 0 files, 934 ignored in 5009 sec.  This was after the extended scan also.

I had a similar problem. I was really worried when I accidentally deleted videos off my Canon Camcorder. After trying MTS-Recovery tool I get back all most photos easily. So, you can try the one to recover lost videos from Canon, Sony, Panasonic, JVC or other camcorder. [Mod note - changed link name, this is not a Canon tool and does not include the Canon name in the software title.]

My SD card was deleted by accident while editing in camera. 

CardRescue got the .MTS files for me and then I had to convert them using another program MacX Video Converter Pro. That worked. Trouble is, it got 482 files! Lucky I have Blu-Ray Player 2 and found that if I double clicked on a MTS file it played it so I could find what I wanted fast.
