Re: retrieval

[joy merwin monteiro <joy.merwin@gmail.com>]

its really a trivial thing..... just alias rm to rm -i in your
.bashrc

if you have deleted it one bruteforce method to retrieve it (if it was
a text file)
is to run 'strings'  on the partition that had the file, catch all output
and sift through it to find your data (might be possible, a friend of
mine had tried it...)
