how to recover remotely deleted file ?

[Gangadharan]

I remotely connected to a machine on my network. I deleted a file and then
went to see if I could locate it in either the remote machine's or my
recycle bin, but could not. Is there a way to recover this deleted file?

It is not possible to answer your question unless you state
exactly what you mean with "remotely deleted". I can
think of half a dozen ways do this, some of which are
reversible and some of which are not.

Hi,

File deletion on a network drive is generally a permanent event, there is no
safeguard like the Recycle Bin on the local machine.

To try and retrieve your deleted files, you would want to use an undelete
utility. These are commonly available for free, and work on the premise that
the space the file formerly occupied has not been overwritten with new data
yet. Once that has occured, recovery requires more extensive (and expensive)
work with dedicated forensic tools by someone who knows what they are doing.

This one here works quite well for basic file recovery:

Most likely, no.

Only from the most recent backup tape.
