It happens to me every now and again -- I accidentally delete a file, and then empty the Recycle Bin before I realize it's gone. But the file isn't gone, really -- it's still there on your hard drive, waiting for something else to be written over it. Here's nifty software tool that can help you recover accidentally deleted files; it's called Restoration. It searches your hard drive for sectors containing files marked for deletion and provide a mechanism for recovering the files. Try a download -- it's free.
