Yes there is a way to recover the file, as long as new data hasn't been added to the sector that retains the ghost image of the file. Try this sprogram, it can recover lots of deleted, formatted or otherwise destroyed data from your HDD.

Hope this helps you and others with similar problems! Let me know how it goes for thread update purposes!
