   What version, what OS?   
      
   Assuming Netscape 7.2, when you remove a profile in Profile Manager, you   
   are given the option to delete the files or not delete the files. If you   
   choose to delete the files, I am afraid they are gone.   
      
   Navigate to your profile location:   
      
   WinXP, 2K:   
      
   C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles   
      
   Win ME, 98:   
      
   C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles   
      
   Look to see if there are two subfolders in the Profiles folder.  If so,   
   you can recover your data.
