If you didn't shut the PC off IMMEDIATELY AFTTER DISCOVERING your error
then the file is most likely toast.

"Deleting" a file doesn't actually delete it; it just marks the
space as available to be used. There are third-party programs
that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the
space used by the file is likely to become overwritten very
quickly, and this makes the file unrecoverable.
So your chances of successfully recovering this file is decent if
you try recovering it immediately after deleting it, and rapidly
go downhill from there. If you've been using the computer since
then (for example to write this question and read this answer),
your chances are probably very poor by now.
But if the file is important enough, it's worth a try anyway.
Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't
done so already. Download an undelete program (there are several
to choose from; do a Google search) on a friend's computer and
bring it yours on a floppy to try.
If this fails, your only other recourse is to take the drive to a
professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very
expensive and may or may not work in your case.

Don't you worry, help is more affordable than you think! Especially
when you consider what your time is worth to you, and how much importance
you place on your valuable data.
My company specializes in computer forensic data recovery services and
data recovery software development. We develop and employ the latest
data recovery software on the market so we can often recover deleted
files pretty quickly! We serve individuals, small businesses, and
corporations worldwide.
We can:
- recover lost files
- recover deleted files
- recover deleted e-mail messages
- rebuild and recover entire physical disk partitions
- recover raid data
- recover pictures
- discover evidence related to investigations (e.g., Internet
activity)
In your case, it is very likely that we could recover most, if not
all, of your data. Because you know the name of the folder or files that
were deleted, it would be pretty quick for us to do. We can also search
for specific filenames you need recovered and even recover partially
overwritten data (e.g., an important MS Word document).
Once you delete your data and empty the recycle bin, your data ends up
in unallocated space. So essentially, you can try using third party
freeby software and cross your fingers, or you can leave it up to the
experts.
By the way, we serve both individuals and corporations. Our rates are
very reasonable and you only pay if we recover your data. No data, no
charge. What we would need is your hard drive shipped to us or a "dd"
image (through Unix) on DVD or CD.
For simple jobs, we'll usually send you your data on CD or DVD usually
within 48 hours! We charge by the hour, but with every job you get a
full up-front estimate BEFORE we begin any work. You get a complete
forensic report (if required), and your data recovered on CD or DVD.
If you would like more information, you can visit my company's website
at http://www.armordata.com and you can even fill out a free online
request for quotation. We're a small but reputable company and we
pride ourselves (above all else) on customer satisfaction, more so
than making a quick buck.
