I exported my database to test whether it works. I then deleted the database and then it went to the "Trash" (I'm using Ubuntu). I then deleted it from "Trash" accidently.

Is there a way to recover my database?

    I'm voting to close and move to superuser.com - it's about a deleted file in ubuntu. It makes little difference that it was a database.

  • I think you have to search for some file recovery tools. It depends on your file system: ext2, ext3 and so on.

if you exported your database you can import it again, right? e.g. using phpmyadmin

It's deleted permanently, the DB platform can do nothing for you, you might try a file recovery software, like Testdisk and PhotoRec (both work with Ubuntu), but it has a quite low success rate in these situations.
