user23021: So I had my Bitcoin wallet at Multibit and due to computer problems I formatted my hard drive and the wallet within it. I have no backups of the wallet, I have only my account name. Are my Bitcoins now gone forever?

user18196: I would check these help pages out. The first one explains that your wallet may not be fully deleted.

Multibit has a pretty good troubleshooting page too, which explains where all their data is stored. I would check and see if you have any data in your system specific directory.

If the wallet is truly deleted, and you don't have any backups, then yes, unfortunately your bitcoins are gone forever. :/
