Recovering Accidental Storyboard Deletion

Question

I tried looking for the answer but didn\'t find it.

I accidentally deleted my storyboard in XCode4. Is there anyway that I can retrieve it? I looked in the trash ca

Answer 1

If you really deleted the file (check in the file system, not just in XCode, see Liam's answer below for the location) and it's not in the trash, there are (afaik) really only two options;

• TimeMachine if you have that running may have a good copy.
• An undelete utility like Disk Drill or MacKeeper

When undeleting, the more you use your disk after deleting a file, the less chance of recovery, so if you're really serious, you should install the program on another Mac and move the disk to that for recovery so that you won't overwrite anything.
