copied!<p>Unless you have a backup system in place (whether that is using <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows Backup</a> or a version control system like Mercurial/<a href="http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TortoiseHG</a>, SVN, Git, Visual SourceSafe, etc) then you're going to be out of luck.</p> <p>It is possible that an "undelete" tool might find the file - but it really depends on how much you've done on the computer since the delete. There are plenty of utilities available on the web, both free and paid-for.</p> <p>Unlike deleting files from Windows Explorer (which by default move files into the Recycle Bin) any file deleted by an application normally deletes the file on a permanent basis.</p> <p>Computers can only "undo" things when the computer has something to "undo"... unfortunately it looks like you're in a situation where there is simply nothing the computer can do.</p> <p>If you have already released a copy of the file to server, then you could get a copy of that - although it would not have any changes you have made since releasing it.</p> <p>I would <strong>strongly</strong> recommend you look at using a version-control system (such as I mentioned earlier in my answer), and regularly back-up your code, for exactly this reason.</p> <p>I have only ever used Visual SourceSafe and TortoiseHG, and I can thoroughly recommend <a href="http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TortoiseHG</a> (and also <a href="http://visualhg.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VisualHG plugin</a> for Visual Studio).</p>
