Restoring deleted file with rm -rf

The rm command deletes files; it does not recover lost or deleted files.
Once you have deleted a file, it is generally gone and unrecoverable. If you happen to be using a transactional filesystem, recovery might not be so difficult. Otherwise, if, immediately after removing a file you unmount the filesystem on which it was located without writing any new data to any other file on that filesystem, you might be able to search the free list for that filesystem for blocks that had been assigned to the file you deleted; but how you do that, if it is possible at all, varies considerably based on the filesystem type.

So this means my file is lost, right?|

gldeleteframebuffers
GLDELETEFRAMEBUFFERS(3G) OpenGL 3.3 GLDELETEFRAMEBUFFERS(3G) NAME
glDeleteFramebuffers - delete framebuffer objects C SPECIFICATION
void glDeleteFramebuffers(GLsizei n, GLuint *framebuffers); PARAMETERS
n Specifies the number of framebuffer objects to be deleted. framebuffers A pointer to an array containing n framebuffer objects to be deleted. DESCRIPTION
glDeleteFramebuffers deletes the n framebuffer objects whose names are stored in the array addressed by framebuffers. The name zero is reserved by the GL and is silently ignored, should it occur in framebuffers, as are other unused names. Once a framebuffer object is deleted, its name is again unused and it has no attachments. If a framebuffer that is currently bound to one or more of the targets GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER or GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER is deleted, it is as though glBindFramebuffer() had been executed with the corresponding target and framebuffer zero. ERRORS
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative. SEE ALSO
