How to recover deleted files in PyCharm?

To retrieve a deleted file in PyCharm, you can follow these steps:

  1. Find the parent directory in the project panel on the left, which contains the deleted file.
  2. Right-click on the directory and select “Local History”.
  3. Select “Show History” in the pop-up menu.
  4. In the pop-up history dialog box, you will see all the changes made in this directory.
  5. Find the file you want to restore and select it.
  6. Click the “Revert” button in the menu bar.
  7. In the pop-up dialog box, confirm the restoration operation.
  8. PyCharm will restore the deleted files and add them back to the project.

Please note that a file will only appear in the local history after you have deleted it if you have not yet submitted it. If you have already submitted the deletion, you will need to recover the file from a code version control system such as Git.
