You said the folder went, too? You can try searching for
that - either with find, or just 'du -a / | grep ...' (where ...
is something useful within the old folder name).
As a general rule, if you think you've just deleted something
that you desperately want back, and you don't want to
try to recover it through mem maps in /proc, I think(!) your
best bet is to turn the computer off immediately - not shutdown,
but power off. And then try recovering via some external
bootable medium.
I know KDE has a trash-can arrangement that all its apps
respect, and I think the Gnome side probably has something
similar - you might just need to enable it.
Jedd.
