App update system - better approach

$

Hi,
I am developing update system for my app, but I am facing issues.

My app will check every 6 hours if a newer version is available. If yes, it executes separate updater.exe which terminates the old version, downloads new version and executes it.

Problem is, my app will update silently in the background and if I will have deleted file (not in recycle bin) that I wanted to recover, new version logically overwrites the old one and also the file. Sure, its possible to embed updater.exe directly into my app, but nevertheless it must be extracted and executed.

What will be the best way to avoid that? Also, its possible to do that only with main app? i.e. without updater.exe
