Quick answer
Look in Trash before assuming a file is permanently lost. A normal file-manager deletion and a permanent deletion do not have the same recovery path.
Understand the issue
Confirm the filename, original location and date. Do not empty Trash during the investigation. If the file was deleted through a command-line operation or another bypass, preserve the storage and check backups rather than expecting it to appear there.
Step-by-step checks
- Open Trash in Files.
- Find and inspect the intended item.
- Restore it and verify its content at the original location.
