A file in linux file system is just a link to an inode. When you delete the file, actually the link is deleted and not the actual inode until all references to that inode are deleted. This gives me an impression that there has to be some way by which we can recover accidentally deleted files and directories in Linux.
Unfortunately, I could not find any good and straight forward solution for this. There are couple of tools available today like Magic Rescue, photorec. You need to see if they work for you.. I did not find them worth for the files and directories that I deleted.
