What to do if I deleted important files?

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.

Which container stores deleted files?

Detailed Solution. The Recycle bin is used to store deleted items in the windows computers. The Recycle bin allows the users to recover the files that have been deleted in windows and can be found on the desktop. When you delete a file or folder in Windows, it is placed in the Recycle Bin.


In NetBeans select (highlight) the project that contained the ZIP file. Under Versioning, select Local History -> Revert Deleted. See if your ZIP file comes back. If not, you're probably out of luck.

Version control and backups are your friends.


Do not panic. Its very easy. Follow the steps:

  1. Right click on the folder/directory that the files had been deleted.

  2. Choose Local History – Restore Deleted

  3. Done


In Netbeans, there is also the option of History->Revert Deleted.

e.g. right click on the object in the tree owning the object that was deleted, and choose the above menu option.

History retention is set from the Tools->Options menu, under the Miscellaneous tab and the Versioning systems in the left-hand pane. I think the default retention time is 7 days.


Eclipse and Idea both have a mechanism to restore local history, this includes deleted files. Netbeans seems to have similar. Hope this helps.

You possibly can recover the deleted file by using the Refactor->Undo[Safely Delete] option.


nope. it wiped it clean. you can install some file recovery software and get it back in no time (just google "file recovery" and you'll get a million tools)
