Use recuva:

That will be able to recover it.

Some will say, "Theymos, you can't recover data from a flash drive! That's completely different than a computer, where files are only removed from the record when deleted.", but that widely-believed statement is incorrect, flash drives are also formatted in FAT32 or NTFS file systems, and therefore(no matter how small), files are still not completely deleted. Small drives do have a smaller window of time in which you can recover files.

If you want to permanently delete something from a flash drive, ask me another question.
