I don’t know how many of you have experienced this issue but it’s a reeeeeally nasty one.
I have been working for the whole day on a class just to find it deleted at the end of the day after I hit CTRL+Z+something else (still a mistery).
I found the solution here:
http://thesaj.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/how-to-restore-lost-files/
The thing is to restore it from editor’s local history – right click the directory you know the file was and select “Restore from local history”.
What a relief!
Funny thing is that the deleted file couldn’t be found even by recovery tools.
It was definitely a sweet discovery when I found the ability to pull that off.
Glad to know my blogging has helped someone.

Who’s brilliant idea was it to make “undo” almost the exact same shortcut as “mysteriously delete huge sections of your code without a warning, dialog box, or even a notification”? Sheesh.
