Vap File

Ok, the following guess is applicable if u deleted a "folder" and not a "file" as stated in ur first sentence. The reason why the folder u deleted is not in the recycle bin is because it was too big to fit in there. Depending on the amount of space u allow for ur recycle bin, anything bigger than that gets deleted permanently without going through the bin. Windows normally asks u to confirm the permanent delete b4 doing it though. In this case, the .tmp file is not the thing u deleted and so cannot be converted into a folder. To recover the lost folder, try searching for a recovery software. For example, I know there used to be a software from symantec called ghost that allowed ppl to recover data even after formatting their hard drive. There might be some simlar programs out there but I dont know any. If to recover the folder, u used a recovery software and ended up with the tmp file, then I suggest u try find something associated with that software to open the tmp file. Note: Those recovery softwares are not meant for "the casual user", so I suggest if u rly rly want ur folder back, go to one of the computer shops in ur area and ask them.
