I accidently deleted a file using thunar, left click on touch pad. Is there a way to recover it?
I've resolved this one my method may be of interest to others so this how to do it. start thunar open terminal type su followed by password (this is to avoid lot's of "access denied directory name" ) type find / -name filename.ext or filename.* the response should be File:///home/user/.local/share/Trash/files/filename.ext (there will be others e.g. /mnt/home etc) return to thunar (alt tab) do not exit terminal enter the (path) /home/user/.local/share/Trash/files/ into the top address bar scroll down to filename.ext right click and choose copy change thunar to documents folder and paste the file where you want it. whilst looking in the files directory you may have noticed some files you really don't want to keep if you want to remove them go back to terminal and type ls filename .ext or *partfilename*.* or *.ext ( to ensure nothing unexpected shows if they do refine the argument) type rm -r -f filename .ext or *partfilename*.* or *.ext |remove |recursively |force job done
