NO way Its Gone once using rm command

no undo - undelete commands in UNIX

Only you recover from your backup

[Jeeshan]

in unix variants, rm is like of command which delete files completely. As there is no trash bin option. You have to restore your files from backup (if available).

Unfortunately, NO.

May be you can alias 'rm' to 'rm -i', so that you will be asked for confirmation in the future, before file deletion.

thought of getting any other option for getting data after rm. thanks a lot

Using RM isn't that dangerous in unix... as it would normally not remove any files ;)

An idea for you could be to use an alias for your rm command... I did this after experiencing a lot of rookie students requesting restore...

alias rm 'rm -i'
