I deleted some photos from my HD but now I need to find them in Lightroom's previews. Is it possible? How can I do it?

Correct answer dj_paige

First you should restore photos from backups. You do have backups, don't you?

The next things you should try:

Look in recycle bin
Try an undelete utility
As a last resort, you can recover the previews using this plug-in Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey’s “Extract Cached Image Previews” Lightroom Plugin
