Can I recover a file in linux which i accidentally did an "rm" on? [closed]

Question

Do you know of any tools/commands by which I recover files which I accidentally removed?

Answer 1

• Don't do anything on the partition; unmount it as it is;
• Install the TestDisk suite, or boot from a live distribution with a recovery suite installed (see the TestDisk wikipedia page);
• I found the PhotoRec utility very useful in similar situations (it was on a VFAT partition, but I guess it works also on ext2).
