As I recall the conversation, there is no easy way.  The best solution is 
to have a good backup strategy implemented before you delete the file.  :)

Failing that, you should shut down the hardrive instantly and hope your 
data isn't overwritten.  Now you need to go through your drive block by 
block to find the data.  There are people (I assume, I don't know anyone 
personally) who will help you with this for a fee.  It is not an easy task 
for a non-expert, so be prepared to work very hard or pay some money.

If you really want to do this yourself, a google search on words like "hard 
drive recovery" is probably a good place to start.
