How to retrieve files that were deleted
-
Hello everyone,
I want to know how to restore files that I deleted through filemanager, I needed the files that I deleted by accident.
thanks, -
The file manager doesn't have a 'trash' folder, like a desktop environment. You can't un-delete them easily.

You could try to recover them with testdisk or photorec (don't be deceived by the latter's name, it can restore countless file types), but the best way to prevent data loss would be backups on a regular basis.
Testdisk and photorec are both part of the same installation package
testdisk. Its installation is explained in the first link above.
