Recovering a accidently deleted file in Ubuntu

Recovering a accidently deleted file in Ubuntu I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and accidently deleted a specific file within a directory on my system. I checked in the Trash bin and could not locate the file. I deleted it 10mins ago, are there any tools available that I can recovery this file? It's a really important file.

"Install scalpel in Ubuntu using terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install scalpel

Then run the following steps to recover your files.

Create a folder name lostdata.

sudo scalpel and drive path which you want to recover. -o is used to generate recovered files to folder lostdata.

$ sudo scalpel /dev/sda1 -o lostdata

Note: there’s no guarantee that Scalpel will succeed in recovering your files, but at least there’s a chance. Perhaps this post will help you."
