How to recover deleted iPython Notebooks

Question

I have iPython Notebook through Anaconda. I accidentally deleted an important notebook, and I can\'t seem to find it in trash (I don\'t think iPy Notebooks go to the trash).

Answer 1

If you deleted it through the OS (rm file.ipynb) then you can probably get it from ~/.ipython_checkpoints/ However, if you deleted it from the browser menu option, it is gone (by design!).
