Retrieve/Recover deleted Netbeans project

Question

I was just working on my Netbeans project and accidentally deleted it and don\'t know how to recover it.

Is there a tmp folder that the deleted project is stored in.

Answer 1

If you accidentally delete a folder on Netbean, the way to recover it is as follows. You can't revert deleted folders but you can revert deleted files. Follow these steps.

1. Recreate the folder you deleted in your Netbean project. (You may not be able to create the folder within Netbean, in that case you can use mkdir command to create the folder )
2. Right click that folder in Netbeans and go to History -> revert deleted (you should see a list of deleted files that relate to that particular folder.
3. Repeat for each folder and sub-folder

Note: I do not know if this works on windows, I know it worked for me on Linux. I also don't know if this works after you have closed Netbeans.

hope it helps someone.
