For the most part, there is no way to undelete a file.
Depending on the filesystem you are using, it may be possible to restore a deleted file. If the filesystem is ext2, you might be able to use http://www.r-undelete.com/

You should send files to the trash before removing the file for good.

Hi there,
It can be possibile to write a shell script that removes your files to a trash directory, and has an option for emptying the trash, i can write such one.
