Accidentally deleted data under Linux, any chance of recovery?

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?

I'm running the same OS and just opened up Adept Manager. After searching for "recovery", I found a program called "magicrescue" that seems to be what you're looking for. Just go into Adept Manager and search for it. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion spectre, unfortunately I could not figure out a recipe to retrieve the data I deleted. At least it was stuff I could just download again, nothing truly lost. Better to learn a lesson that way than with something truly important. Having 7Mbit dsl helps.
