Thanks for the input guys. i suppose this is end of the story.

How recently did you delete the file? If it was very recently, stop using the hard drive it was on as there may be a chance to recover the file with file recovery software.

I recommend having a look at photorec ( http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec ). I've had success recovering files with this before. It is recommended to run this from a live CD or different hard drive so you don't write to the hard drive you are trying to recover from.

You can make a cross on it...

Electrum and the wallets were made so that no one can hack them.
The security for that is the seed.

You deleted your seed? You deleted your wallet. As simple as that. you can't do anything without it.

Sorry to tell you, but with only the password and the address, there is no way to recover your xprv...

you really need:
- your wallet file + your password
OR
- your seed
OR
- your xprv

If you have your wallet file and part of your password OR a big part of your seed, people can try brute forcing, but only the password and the address cannot be used to find your seed, wallet file or xprv i'm afraid.

You said you deleted the file with the seed and private keys, but what about the wallet file? If you still have that one, everything is good...
