Need help about deleted file

[Lordshooter]

Hello.

It looks like I just mistakenly deleted a file.

How can I get it back, the easiest way?


Thank you.

yea you can.
Check the Recycle bin

Else, you need a file retriver program

Depends how you deleted it and system setup ... may be lucky and find it in trash (or similar - depending on distro). Otherwise you could try one of several system/file recovery utils ... RIP etc.

Thank you, Robin and Jonathan.

I did try to open the trash bin, before I opened the tread here, but I wasn't able to, because of a permission and execution problem:

Where can I find the file in the directory, so that I could possibly set the permission from there, as root?

Thank you.

I guess the location is distro specific but for SUSE 10 its in the user home area
eg /home/jonathan/.local/share/Trash/ ... I don't remember changing any defaults for this.

Thanks, Jonathan.

I was able to look into the trash can.

A new file was not inside, so I presume, that I hadn't deleted any files.

Thank you.

Which distro are you using?
If you remember the find name then execute this

cd /
find -iname file_name

[Lordshooter]

Thank you, Casper.

My distro: "SymplyMEPIS 6.5".

The missing file did however show up, in a other folder.....


Thank you.
