Where do deleted files from Apache Netbeans go?


I accidently deleted source folder from my Netbeans Project , but when I try History->Revert Deleted nothing shows . Also I checked Recycle Bin and also the hidden Recycle bin on D: Recovery Drive but still the same Result . I tried to deleted on purpose other object from the same project , but they still disappear without any trace . The /path/to/folder/NetbeansProject directory is also effected by the delete on my IDE so no trace of my src folder. As last resort I tried Recuva but nothing there . So my question is where do the deleted files from Netbeans IDE go ?


Solution

  • If you ask Netbeans to delete a file, you get a confirmation dialog. After approving the file is deleted, as Federico mentioned.

    The menu item "History->Revert Deleted" refers to version control. If you use version control regularly you indeed can go back in time and retrieve the files. However if you create a file, then delete it before it ever was sent to version control there is no chance.
