How long do I have before data recovery is no longer possible?

I just recently deleted a file. How long do I have before data recovery is no longer possible?

Time in hours or days is not relevant in regards to a deleted file. Microsoft Windows can overwrite a deleted file immediately if it selects the same data clusters. To maximize the chances of recovery, try not to write anything onto the drive where a deleted file is located until you start using recovery software.

ARAX Disk Doctor recovers files whether they have been removed from the Recycle Bin, from within an application, or deleted from the command line. The data recovery method by ARAX Technologies uses no file overwrite operation on your original disk or data. It saves your data and writes the data to a different location that you specify.
