By accident I deleted some files on my linux machine, how would I recover these?

I just googled this:
Free data recovery software download

[unixman]

Doh! A Windoze program to recover Linux files! I don't think so.

The correct method is with debugfs. There are loads of examples on the web available if you don't know how to drive this very simple utility. Essentially you recover the inode. However, if you've shredded the file, it's gone.
