deleted a folder, don't know how to restore

I develop on Windows Vista and was connected to my server using Ubuntu dapper.

I was trying to delete a folder on the Ubuntu side but I inadvertadently deleted both the folder on the Vista and Ubuntu side.

It's totally my fault and I am hoping someone has mercy on me and offers some advice on what to do.

What is the best way on either the Vista or Ubuntu side to handle this?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,

John

I suppose that on Vista you will find the folder in Recycle bin.

I was trying to fix my iPhone Youtube problem and accidently deleted all files in this folder:

/var/root/Library/Lockdown/pair_records

How to restore them? BTW...they are NOT in Windows Recycle Bin. Is there a WinSCP Recycle Bin?

Using WinSCP Version 4.0.6 (Build 358)
Win XP ...Transfer protocol SCP...Interface style Norton commander

I doubt that files deleted via SCP are moved automatically to anything like recycle bin on iPhone. WinSCP have recycle bin, but it is off by default.

No, sorry. You should better ask on some forum related to iPhone.

hi there,

i accidently deleted some files from within the same folder you accidently wiped out, did you end up finding a way to solve your problem.

i am a total noob - and any help would be appreciated?

hi there, i deleted a file via win scp. now i need that to recover. is there any possibilties to recover it in the same server.

Well if you deleted it seems to be it will be impossible to restore. And "NO" it will not go to the recycle bin, it is the same with deleting stuff in your flash drive. Sorry to hear about it though :(

Why is it disabled? Enable it! How should I know in advance that I accidentally delete something?

1) Most people don't expect it to be enabled and would be annoyed to find out, that files, they believe to be safely gone, are actually backed up somewhere (it's not like a local recycle bin, where others do not have an access too anyway, this is about remote and possibly shared system).
2) It requires a configuration of recycle bin location anyway, so it's not like that it can just be "enabled".
