Recovering deleted files? This depends on where the file was and when it was created and deleted. /scratch There is no backup and no snapshots so the file is gone forever.  /users If it was in your home directory  /users/   then you can recover files from up to 7 days ago using the built-in snapshots by navigating to the snapshot directory as follows: [ulambda@login ~]$ pwd /users/ulambda [ulambda@login ~]$ date Tue Jun 1 13:59:28 CEST 2021 [ulambda@login ~]$ $ cd /users/.snapshots/ [ulambda@login .snapshots]$ ls 2021-05-26 2021-05-27 2021-05-28 2021-05-29 2021-05-30 2021-05-31 2021-06-01 [ulambda@login .snapshots]$ cd 2021-05-31/ulambda [ulambda@login ]$ pwd /users/.snapshots/2021-05-31/ulambda [ulambda@login ]$ ls .. my_deleted_file_from_yesterday .. ..   The snapshots are taken at around 3am in the morning so if you created a file in the morning and deleted it the same afternoon then we can't help. Beyond 7 days the file is lost forever.
