Hello
I removed your signature as it posted private information - can you please disable your signature if replying by email?
What Operating System are you on?
For Mac - most have Time Machine
if not there are some 3rd party software that claims it can recover files
If you're on a PC
Restore deleted files and folders or restore a file or folder to a previous state.
To restore a deleted file or folder
Open Computer by selecting the Start button
, and then selecting Computer.
Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, right-click it, and then select Restore previous versions. If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then select Restore previous versions.
You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you are using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.
Note: To restore a previous version of a file or folder that's included in a library, right-click the file or folder in the location where it's saved, rather than in the library. For example, to restore a previous version of a picture that's included in the Pictures library but is stored in the My Pictures folder, right-click the My Pictures folder, and then select Restore previous versions.

No problem.
In the link that Barb post - see no.2 - there's an email address to send corrupt files.
That's probably your best bet.
