arrgghhhh!!

Why oh why didn't Microsoft Windows Server create a Trash can like you have on your desktop??!!!

Delete files off a network drive and Vamoosh!! Bye bye.

Delete files off your C drive or desktop and they land lovely inside a trash can.

I can just imagine the server engineers toasting and patting themselves on the back, not thinking of the utter
pain and inconvinience it is to loose files off a network drive.

Good design dorks! Well done!

Right-click folder that contained the file > Properties > Previous versions

docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc787329(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN(v=ws.10).aspx

Hope that works for you.

Any decent server/network admin will be taking backups of the server and its data.

You should be able to ask the admin to restore the file from last nights backup.

That was my only hope. Unfortunately Previous Versions was not set up on MS Server 2003! And Admin only backup once a week to save on disc space and resources due to cost of upgrading. *sigh*

As I said about, you would think so. Unfortunately cost comes into it and only certain areas of the network are backed up.
