Search your HDD for a specific string used in the conversation. But don't search on unicode characters or other 'special' characters which might be encoded when saved in a XML/HTML file.
And by searching HDD I don't mean using Windows build-in file search utility because that has the tendancy to skip certain files (Microsoft's way of being 'intelligent' and helping the user
). You better use a tool which can realy scan your HDD byte by byte, like a disk editor. It will take a long time, but in that way you will be sure that everything is searched _and_ possibly deleted data is searched too.
