What can I do if I deleted a file in the Workspace by accident?

I deleted a file in the Workspace I was working on. Can I get it back?

I dont think you can retrieve deleted files, but this is great reason to push your work and changes to it to github. I personally use c9.io for my workspaces and I store my projects to github.

You can get back the original file without the changes you made to it by downloading the project files to your computer and unzipping them. Now, from in workspaces right click in the sidebar area and choose upload file and then select the missing file from where you downloaded it onto your computer. Unfortunately, you won't have the changes you made to that file, but it at least gets you the base file back.
