Did you delete it from a GUI? If so, might be in the Trash Bin.

If you deleted it from the command line, you're fucked.

Perhaps not. If Linux uses the standard PCDOS FAT the files (or their
names, really) can be recovered with a hex editor.

PCDOS file deletion involves only replacing the first character of the
file name with "?". Now, if someone wants to tell a moron who would
delete needed files and has no backups how to use a hex editor....
