can you do a system restore from a previous time where it wasn't deleted?

1) this is a mac
2) system restore doesn't affect documents, just programs/registry

you can google osx undelete for a few cheaper alternatives that may or may not do the job.
Again, DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE ON TEH COMPUTER THAT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO RESTORING THE FILE.
kill any other downloads, etc
also, don't be so hasty next time. the trash is a 'change your mind' bin, not just an extra hassle to delete files. don't empty it unless you have to
