If you powered down your system immediately after deleting the file, and the file was on an ext2/3/4 filesystem, then you can use debugfs, the linux filesystem debugger, to recover the file.

recover the file using debugfs

Hi,

You can recover the file using debugfs as long the system is not rebooted as this will clear all the journaling. Journal should be intact and no major changes were made like writing the files onto the same partition from where you deleted the file.

Hope this link can be more useful
