Salve,

I am very new to Eclipse, first off.
Secondly, I made a very silly blunder.

I was trying to delete ONE project but ended up deleting ALL of the files in my AP CompSci folder.

I am trying to find a way, if one exists, to retrieve these lost files. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished; as I really do not want to have to re-write all of the programs that I have written in this class.

Vale,
WTC

Eclipse supports to restore files from the local history but that local
history is by project and once you delete the project the local history
is also gone. You could try to recover the files using an undelete
utility, e.g. FreeUndelete.
