I straight up deleted my java files after moving them to a different java project thinking I had a second copy of them in my old java project folder. Is there a way to get them back?

No need to panic. I found my solution. Right click and "restore from local history". Phew, that was a close call. – btrballin Apr 03 '15 at 06:52

If you haven't already done so set up 'Time Machine' backups now. – greg-449 Apr 03 '15 at 07:01

Don't panic.
Right click upper level package(folder). Select "Restore from Local History.." from the popup menu.
If you are lucky, you'll find your files there.

This only works if you didn't check the "delete from disk" checkbox. Next thing you need to do is to set up backups and/or check your code into an off-machine source code repository!! – Stephen C Apr 03 '15 at 07:06

Yeah right, but "delete from disk" option only comes when you delete a project. – Touchstone Apr 03 '15 at 07:11
