Then by luck, you may be able to recover it using debugfs.
Run debugfs /dev/<hdd-device> as root. It will give you a prompt. At the
prompt, type lsdel and press enter (keep your fingers crossed& pray hard).
If it lists some inodes, use the undel command (of debugfs) and give it a
temporary path.
See man debugfs for more info.
undel<inode> (include the angle brackets).
it was in my Downloads folder, should i give path ~/Downloads like this?
No, don't do that. Just recover the inodes.
Actually I've never used it to recover deleted files and hence I don't
know much about it.
As per the man page, it suggests that you should undel all inodes and
then run e2fsck to get back the files in the lost+found directory.
And yeah, I forgot to mention that this works ONLY WITH ext*.
