I don't use "cvs rm -f", for similar reasons. Destructive commands should be slightly awkward, and streamlining them is often a bad idea. > - unfortunately, instead of this command, i used "cvs rm -f" (without any file names!), and all files in the project directory are accidentally removed :-( > > Please help me recover deleted files, if it is possible. > Which files? If you didn't commit the changes, then you didn't change the repository. (If you did, it's possible to check out the files again and re-add them.) If you want to recover the files you deleted, it's probably impossible unless they were backed up. Unix has one-step file deletion, unlike the Macintosh and Microsoft Windows which have a two-step, and that two-step deletion has saved me on occasion. David H.
