file removed

Hi Team,

I have deleted a file accidentally by using rm command. I am not the root(admin) user. Can you please let me know how to get that .tex file?

If you deleted the file and have no backups and can't get root access, it's gone.

If you deleted the file and have no backups and have root access, it's still going to be very difficult to retrieve.

Sorry.

There might be other things related to it still around. How have you been editing this file? Might there be anything under /tmp/ related to it?

If the file is newer than your last backup then I'm afraid you're Donald Ducked!
