[Windows Central Question]

I had a user account on my computer that was corrupted (source unknown), and decided the simplest thing was to create a new one and port all of the files over.
Having done so and checked that it was functional, I deleted the old account. However, at least one of my old pst files didn't make the trip. (So much for the idea that ALL files came over!) Is there any way a recovering the old pst file, i.e., is it still out there with the pointers erased, or has it been forever wiped out and I'm left to live without the old emails, etc.?
