Oops. I was deleting a couple of files from my home folder in Kubuntu 7.10 and then emptied the trash bin. Then I realized a folder with 38 gigs of data I wanted to keep had accidentally been selected along with the stuff I was trying to delete. Data I had just downloaded in the last few weeks and had not backed up yet. Fuuuuccckkk!!!! In Windows it would be easy enough to recover but I haven't found a way to do it in Linux yet. Is there any way to readily recover it through software?
