How do I restore a deleted file in Eclipse?

Question

Long story short, I accidently deleted a project which I thought was something else, but not, and I deleted the file from the disk. How do I get the file back? Im running Recuva, but are there any other file recovery methods out there?

Answer 1

Another way to do it (besides martinhh's answer), is to:

• Right click the project
• Restore from Local History

Answer 2

Eclipse has a local history that is stored in

.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.history/

I am not sure, if these files are deleted together with the project. I would recommend you check the files by date if you remember when you made the last changes. Or if you remember eg a class name you can use grep.
