You don't. Not the same way you can in Windows and MacOS with 3rd party
tools like Norton. (3rd party *nix tools may do it but I don't think so).

There _are_ filesystems for some *nix flavours that support file
versioning, and they generally have an undelete. If you're _really_
desparate and the file has some fairly unique text strings in it you can
grep your hdd partition for it (*ick*) and dd off the surrounding
blocks. That may let you recover some/all of the info but it won't be
pretty.

The only real way: BACKUPS

cd -
you don't need the ~-, just - is good enough.
typing "cd" alone on the command line is eqivalent to cd ~/ too.
