Undo delete
HI folks,


I have just deleted a folder which i need it back. I am not a big
unix user so any help is appreciated. The thing is that i had found
images in a folder:


./home/tom/.kde/share/cache/http/b/[filename_removed].jpg
as you can see these images should not really be here.
When i asked a guy in work to get details on them he deleted them


instead, crossed wires!!!! he typed ( rm -rf tom )
The thing is, the images are on a managed sever not in our premises
and the /tom folder is the name of the guy who manages it. And there
were a lot worse www's in the folder which is why i am looking for
help.


If anybody can help me to retrieve the folder it would be much
appreciated


Regards


Cormac O'Donnell

EDIT: I removed the filename as it was offensive and serves no purpose - Zazzybob
