Surely it will be in your recycle bin?

Can't you just restore it from last night's backup...?

OK, thank you but where would I find that?

MarkRae

Your recycle bin? Ordinarily, it will be an icon on your desktop. What operating system are you running...?

Oh thank you thank you thank you

I found the recycle bin and got it back.

I am a happy bunny now :)

Double-click your recycle bin icon on the desktop and in there you should see the deleted file. Right-click and select 'restore' or alternatively simply drag to desktop or other location by holding down the left mouse button.
