recovering deleted WP posts
Some one I know deleted and cleaned out his trash bin, 3 days worth of draft posts are now gone, is there any way to recover them.

Were they deleted on wordpress or were they just files on your computer (that you planned to copy and past into WordPress) that got deleted?
If they're files, you can search google for deleted file recovery software (not posting links here as I do not stand by a particular product.) In such a circumstance, they most likely are recoverable, but there is no guarantee.
If they were drafts on WordPress and were on your site and were deleted there, then certainly not.
Edit: I misunderstood the post. NO, they're not recoverable.

Sorry, but the only way to "recover" them on WP itself would require them still being in the trashbin. Since the trash was emptied, the deletion is permanent.Britporn_Mike wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 7:51 pmI was hoping no one would say thisDimetrodon [phpBB] wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 7:46 pm
