Also note that once you have accidentally deleted something you should immediately turn off your computer in order to prevent data loss or corruption. When trying to recover the data you should always boot up off of an external source (CD-ROM, external hard-drive, etc...) because installing a program on the host disk may overwrite the data you want to recover.
