6.2 Using CDE File Manager
6.2.6 Recovering files
A benefit of File Manager over the command line environment is its ability to recover deleted files. This is also known as the "undelete" function. If a file is deleted using File Manager, you can undelete it providing they have not been overwritten. Within the CDE, any file or directory that is deleted is placed within the 'trash can.' - The files within the 'trash can' can be 'undeleted' by selecting the 'put back' option from the file menu. The 'trash can' also allows you to 'shred' the files or directories within the trash can, which will permanently delete the files.
