You would probably only be able to get it if you had went back a webpage or two while you were still logged in. Or maybe in history like NeverSayDie mentioned.

If the profile has been deleted RECENTLY, you may be able to see the profile in google's cache.   This thread will give you more info on how to do that.  As for the message, I'm unaware of any method other than what's already been mentioned, sorry.

Man this is a tuff one.

If the orginal request was sent recenetly then maybe, just maybe you can find it in your history. I doubt it though.

Do you have Google Gears installed? Since the friend request started out in your inbox, there may be a copy saved in it somewhere, but I wouldn't know how to get it out.

About the only other possible way would be to find it in your cache. Which browser do you use? Explorer, Firefox or something else?

no, i do not have google gears, im using firefox. i tried the history thing, with no luck , i found the history page it would have been on , but it just takes me to the friend request page that exists now

Okay this is probably going to be a huge waste of time, mainly since I don't know what I'm talking about, but if you want give this a try.

  1. In your history right click the link for the friend request and select "Copy Link Location"
  2. Paste this link into the body of an email (I used my Yahoo account) and email it to yourself. Yup you can email something to the same address you're sending it from.
  3. Once you receive the email the URL should now be a click able link. But don't left click it. Right click the link and select "Save Link As..." and save it to where ever you want.
  4. Locate the link where you saved it and open it up. It should open in Notepad, but if it doesn't you'll want to manually open it in Notepad. Or whatever just as long as it's not a browser.

What I'm thinking/hoping is the info you want is still in the source code saved in your History, but when you try and view it via your browser MySpace automatically redirects you to a different page. Hopefully by following the steps above you'll be able to access the original source code.

Can any anyone else who know's more about this stuff say if they think this will work, and if so is there a better way to do it?
