I'm not even sure if this is easily possible, but I would like to list the files that were recently deleted from a directory, recursively if possible.
I'm looking for a solution that does not require the creation of a temporary file containing a snapshot of the original directory structure against which to compare, because write access might not always be available. Edit: If it's possible to achieve the same result by storing the snapshot in a shell variable instead of a file, that would solve my problem.
Something like:
find /some/directory -type f -mmin -10 -deletedFilesOnly
Edit: OS: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but the command(s) would most likely be running in a variety of Linux boxes or Docker containers, most or all of which should be using ext4, and to which I would most likely not have access to make modifications.

Right-click the file or folder, and then select Restore previous versions. You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you're using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.
When you delete a file or folder, it goes into the Recycle bin, where you have a chance to restore it.
To Restore That Important Missing File or Folder:Type Restore files in the search box on the taskbar, and then select Restore your files with File History. Look for the file you need, then use the arrows to see all its versions. When you find the version you want, select Restore to save it in its original location.
If you can’t see the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop area, please refer to how to add the Recycle Bin icon to the Windows 10 desktop guide. Step 2: Right-click on the empty area, click Sort by and then click Date deleted. That’s it! You can now see all recently deleted files with the deleted date next to each file.
That’s it! You can now see all recently deleted files with deleted date next to each file. To restore a file, simply right-click on a file and then click Restore option to restore the file to its original location. If you want to restore multiple files at once, simply select files that you want to restore, right-click and then click Restore option.
Windows 11 comes with a slightly redesigned Recycle Bin that functions just like the Recycle Bin in Windows 10, allowing you to undelete recently deleted files without software: Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on your Desktop. Select the files you want to recover. Right-click any of the selected files and choose the Restore option.
With Recoverit Data Recovery software, it can easily to recover deleted folders from computer hard disk, also, the file recovery software can recover deleted files from external hard drive device.
You can use the debugfs utility,
debugfs is a simple to use RAM-based file system specially designed for debugging purposes
First, run debugfs /dev/hda13 in your terminal (replacing /dev/hda13 with your own disk/partition).
(NOTE: You can find the name of your disk by running df / in the terminal).
Once in debug mode, you can use the command lsdel to list inodes corresponding with deleted files.
When files are removed in linux they are only un-linked but their inodes (addresses in the disk where the file is actually present) are not removed
To get paths of these deleted files you can use debugfs -R "ncheck 320236" replacing the number with your particular inode.
Inode Pathname
320236 /path/to/file
From here you can also inspect the contents of deleted files with cat. (NOTE: You can also recover from here if necessary).
Great post about this here.

So a few things:
You may have zero success if your partition is ext2; it works best with ext4
df /
Fill mount point with result from #2, in my case:
sudo debugfs /dev/mapper/q4os--desktop--vg-root
lsdel
q (to exit out of debugfs)
sudo debugfs -R 'ncheck 528754' /dev/sda2 2>/dev/null (replace number with one from step #4)
