since answers are disappointing I would like suggest a way in which I got deleted stuff back.

I use an ide to code and accidently I used rm -rf from terminal to remove complete folder. Thanks to ide I recoved it back by reverting the change from ide's local history.

(my ide is intelliJ but all ide's support history backup)
