accidentally deleted result files

[danilchr1]

Hi,
I accidentally deleted the results (result file and raw_result file) in Ibexfarm (I have a local University Ibexfarm platform installed on my computer which uses te syntax of Pc-Ibex).
They are very important to me. Is there a way to restore those files?
Thank you.

Hi,

If you used the Ibexfarm interface to delete those two files, they were deleted using Perl’s unlink function, so the OS no longer maintains a copy of the files. In that case, you might want to consider using some recovery tools to try and retrieve your files (eg. PhotoRect is a free, cross-platform software that I’ve used with success in the past) — do it as soon as you can though, since when the OS reallocates memory used by the deleted files those can no longer be recovered

If you deleted them manually using a file browser, maybe the OS sent copies in a recycle bin of some sort
