</p>
<steps>
<item><p>
Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq>.
</p></item>
Type <cmd>/home</cmd>. The <gui>File Manager</gui>.
<item><p>
In the <gui>Places</gui> menu in the side pane, click on <gui>Trash</gui>.
</p></item>
<item><p>
If your deleted file is there, right-click on it and select <gui>Restore</gui>. It will be restored to the folder it originated from.
</p></item>
</steps>
<p>
If you deleted the file using <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>delete</key></keyseq>, or from the commandline, the file can't be recovered using this method.
