Not a programming question, so I moved it.

And you can restore any file from your last backup, which I hope you've made & checked.

Depends on what you do backups with, so best check with your (backup) administrator. If you don't have one, it's going to be nigh impossible to restore a file.

If it's not backed up, it's gone. With a huge load of luck one might get it back by searching the disk itself, but this is very time consuming (especially given todays disk sizes), and if there's been enough disk activity since the removal you won't get anything.
