I had $500 and put it in an envelope. The envelope was sealed closed, so I tossed it into the fireplace and burned it up. Then I went and got a new envelope that was empty. I know what the burned up envelope looked like, someone please help me get my $500 back?
In other words, I'm really sorry, but if you are working with an amount of money that is significant to you, you really need to be careful about what you are doing and not make assumptions. Otherwise you can end up regretting your actions if you destroy access to the money.
If you have a friend or family member who you trust who is very adept with computers, you *might* be able to recover the deleted wallet.dat file. Computer systems don't always destroy the file when you delete it, many times they just lose track of where on your hard drive the file is stored. The longer you wait and the more that you use the computer, the more likely it is that the computer will overwrite your wallet.dat file with something else, and then you won't be able to recover it at all.
If you can recover the deleted wallet.dat file, you can still get your coins. If your computer has overwritten the file, and you can no longer recover it, then you need to accept that the coins are gone and unrecoverable forever.
