Or if there's any new file that the bitcoin client creates or overwritten file. Some trace left even after the unistall of the client?
Bitcoin Core's "
data directory" wont be deleted even if the client was uninstalled, its default location is in
%appdata%/bitcoin.
%appdata% in Windows is in "
<Drive letter>:/Users/<Your_Username>/AppData/Roaming"
You need to enable 'hidden files' view to find the appdata folder.
Before giving-up, you might want to try the other tools.
But in my test,
pywallet -recover can definitely recover keys from a deleted wallet.
That hd has windows xp installed so this is the directory i checked C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin but there was no bitcoin folder.
Isn't another way to check? I read online that I could use the eventlog to check events, but it stores up to a certain numbers of entries so it might be too far back in time. But even that, how should I use the eventlog to check on an external hard drive? Any idea?
