Thanks, we tried Recuva (thanks Randy), but couldn't figure out how to run it. Luckily, he called a fellow photographer who led him to a free utility Digital Image Recovery, which worked. His friend talked him through it and it brought back so many old pictures he couldn't believe. He had pics he deleted from last year reappear. He was deleting a bunch of pictures and accidently deleted one, which was in the string he wanted to get rid of. I guess that proves that nothing deleted, is really gone. Thanks again, Jane

That's an important point, Magothyrivergirl. Thanks! So I guess I ought to also print a picture, just in case. But the clippings that are without pics, say a particular tip or technique, whatever... it would be a handy place for "keepers". BTW, it doesn't "clip" the whole tread, just the *one* post in that thread that you "clip". So any follow-up posts that you like,,, you have to clip each one individually.

I guess there's no way to restore it, since you need to confirm a deletion. https://help.houzz.com/s/article/How-do-I-delete-an-ideabook?language=en_US

Hi, it's a battle, isn't it? I use the strawberry container clam shells as well. It seems to work for most things. However, this year I haven't put any one and haven't lost a single fruit. The first thing you have to do is identify the culprits. I had a couple large male raccoons and some possums in previous year, so I bought one of those have-a-heart traps and baited it with a marshmallow smeared with a bit of peanut butter. I caught them in a single day and then relocated them ten miles away from my home. Pretty easy. I then set rat bait in rat bait traps in a couple areas of my property. The last problem was the squirrels! I never minded them too much, but I discovered that they were the cause of my internet going out since they chew on the cables plus they have the habit of taking a bite out of my fruit (a peach or a mango usually or maybe a starfruit) then leaving it to take another bite out of another fruit; at least the raccoon devoured only a single fruit in a sitting. A squirrel will go through five. To solve this prolbem (don't judge me too harshly), but I purchased this -- https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6JKVLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It traps and kills the squirrels pretty easily. I then use them for fertilizer for the trees that they were using to ruin my fruit. The end result is I'm not spending my time wrapping each fruit in a clamshell anymore.
