Free/cheap Data Retrieval Program?

If not, is there a program that will let me see what can be retrieved, my friend deleted a folder last night, and he doesn't remember trashing it, but its gone somehow...

Data Rescue II for one file. You can download it as a demo and it will allow you to retrieve one and only one folder/file as a demo. So for what you need, it is free, but the next time...
