recovery on Linux Virtual Box [closed]

Question

I am into a deep trouble .I was working on RHEL 5 64 bit OS on a Virtual Machine . I was working as normal user(non root). Accidently i deleted the user on which i was working .

Can somebody tell me how to recover .My full code repository got lost .It contained my 2-3 weeks work .

Answer 1

There is a solution for my case , since i was using Virtual Machine , one can regularly take snapshots and then later you can get a .vmdk file from it .And there you are .

And if you havent taken the snapshots(same as i did) then you can mount your .vmdk on the similar type of OS , using VMWare's VMware-mount-5.0.0-13124.exe utility and then can browse the virtual partition and get your files .

Cheers .
