Scharlene, if you have looked in the recycle bin and the project is in there you should be able to restore it. If it's not there you may be able to use program like Recuva.

Please be aware that simply installing software to recover deleted files could overwrite the existing deleted files. Use your PC as little as possible whilst attempting recovery.
If/when you get your project back, make generous use of the backup option (down arrow next to save) and create the occasional iwzip backup by exporting the project.
Good luck
Better use the backup export project selection (step5), (best on another drive / medium) the backup option from the help will not be available if you have deleted the project.
But I am very, very afraid that you need to start over.
Goodluck anyway.
PS IMHO the deleted project is truly deleted, it does not go to the recycle bin.
But this is a great IDEA to have! Or make the project go to recycle bin, or make a recylce bin in X5. It's worth an IDEA post!
