Why don't you want to use an external software like Recuva? – user714965 May 13 '11 at 7:31
Not without external software no. You told it to delete it completely, a little like doing it from command line, it didnt go to recycle bin – BugFinder May 13 '11 at 7:31
unfortunately not Deepak. The file is still there on your hard drive it just looks liek free space that is why u need external software to recover it. It's like deleting a file from the recycle bin – The_Butcher May 13 '11 at 7:34

No, this is not possible without using external software

I found this interesting website explaining exactly what to do. http://lifehacker.com/393084/how-to-recover-deleted-files-with-free-software

Think about one important thing: don't do anything on the HDD you deleted the files from (they can be overwritten) and install the external software also on another HDD so you don't overwrite the deleted data

If you're lucky, you could use a previous version of the containing folder. Just rightclick on the containing folder and choose "Preferences". Go to the tab "previous versions" (don't know how it really calls because I'm from germany, but it should be anything like "previous versions"). If you're lucky, you can copy a previous-version of your folder to another place and extract your javascript-file.
