There is data recovery software you can use.

If you still own the hard drive that you had installed the WoW client on, you can run the data recovery software on it, and it will retrieve your client as well as the WTF folder containing your account name.

This process can take a long time and depending on software used, might be annoying to shift through all deleted files to find the one you need.

A data recovery software will still be able to retrieve the data.

It takes several full formats as well as full "write zero" passes in order to fully erase data on an HDD.

To fully erase data on an HDD, you will need to perform:

1. Fully format the HDD.

2. Completely fill the whole surface of the HDD with zeroes (write zeroes) with a software such as Western Digital LifeGuard Diagnostics (1).

3. Fully format the HDD (2).

4. Completely fill the whole surface of the HDD with zeroes (write zeroes) with a software such as Western Digital LifeGuard Diagnostics (2).

5. Fully format the HDD (3).

6. Completely fill the whole surface of the HDD with zeroes (write zeroes) with a software such as Western Digital LifeGuard Diagnostics. (3)

7. Fully format the HDD (4).

8 . Completely fill the whole surface of the HDD with zeroes (write zeroes) with a software such as Western Digital LifeGuard Diagnostics. (4)

This procedure is also explained in the US Govt document DoD 5220.22-M Data Wipe Method [US DOD Wipe Standard].

If you have only formatted your hard drive only once, 99.9% of your old data is still in there and can be easily retrieved.
