So .. if you haven't done much datasaving after the removal of thoose important files the data might still be intact (just not visible by the OS).

If its really important I would try a "undelete" program that will seek out the filedata and try to restore it for you.

Guess a start could be searching for "undelete" on shareware.com or google.
Thanks, I am gonna try and reinstall outlook now, I was able to recover my .PST files as KRL mentioned, so hopefully i can fix this nightmare.
