If you just did it and you aren't on a weird setup like encrypted drives you might be able to get it back.

If you haven't turned off the computer and it just happened it might also be worth saving a memory dump and any swap file for later analysis. You have a good chance actually -- if it's that important.

Since this is coming from Fris (i.e. technical type), I'm assuming it's not possible to 'undelete' it or else you'd already have done that.

I've been in a bad habit the last few years of using shift+delete, instead of putting stuff in the recycle bin.

It's bitten me a couple of times.

I hate it when I delete things I've never done in order to make up an excuse for not having them...

You could try cat/more/less on the entire drive device to search for a specific string you know is in your source. I did this once when I stupidly deleted source.c instead of the compiled executable. Took a while to sift through 300GB of data, but I found and recovered it.

edit: now I think about it, I believe it was something more stupid, like gcc -o source.c source.c, which overwrites the original source with the compiled program. hurrrr
