If you just deleted it it might still be in your trash can, ready to be brought back.

I always delete permanently. But every detail is still in my head.

I also delete permanently, but I back up with CrashPlan, so anything on my computer for a few days would be backed up automatically.

I've recovered small things occasionally using it, and one occasion even a 1TB hard drive that failed.

Oh well, that's rough. Still, at least since you remember it you can get it back up and on track again next weekend, if you want to.
