Recover Deleted Files

I accidentally deleted a folder via CFBuilder.  Items do not go to the recycle bin.  Luckily I had a back up that was a couple days old but I lost a lot.  Is it possible some where in CFBuilder to undo a delete? If not where do the files go and is it easily possible to retrieve them?

Thank you

Did you delete something from a project or did you delete it using the FIle Explorer?

If it was from a Project, do a right click on your Project, and choose 'Restore from Local History'. Eclipse by default keeps a history of all changes made in the last 7 days.

Alternatively, keep your code in a Source Control Repository such as SVN or Git

It's not possible, no - deleting files through CFB work the same as shift-deleting them from the hard disk.

If it was life-and-death then you could possibly get them back using standard file-recovery software, but not within CF Builder.
