Recovering deleted files from WinSCP


I accidentally deleted some logs files from my server from root user in WinSCP. In preference options, there was a checkbox option that was checked for "Moving files to recycling bin".

I can't find the recycling bin anywhere, I really need the logs back, is it possible to get the logs back from this said recycling bin? Where can find the path for this recycling bin?


Solution

  • In general, your files are lost. There's hardly any way to recover them.

    See WinSCP FAQ Can I undelete remote file removed with WinSCP?


    As for the option you refer to: That enables only confirmation prompt for deleting files (both local and remote) to recycle bin. But unless you have enabled the recycle bin for remote files, it has no effect.
