Hello, I am doing the Linux command line course, I have a basic query " once I delete a file/folder using "rm" command, is there a way to recover deleted items like in Windows we use recycle bin to restore deleted files. ?? Thanks

I don't believe there is an equivalent of a Recycle Bin in Windows. So easy...not Windows easy.
Look here that might help you:

I create an alias for rm that moves the files to another location. You can setup an alias in your .profile. You have to be sure to clear out the other location every so often or create a cron entry to periodically clean it out by performing the real rm.
Haven't viewed this course. Not sure how in depth it goes.
