I accidentally deleted some files. Can I get them back?

Yes, you can recover deleted files if you deleted them from your home directory on the NAS compute resources or Lou. Call NAS User Services at (800) 331-8737 or (650) 604-4444, or send an email to support@nas.nasa.gov with the filenames, paths, and the dates they were last modified.

If you deleted the files from a /nobackup directory, the files cannot be restored. For more information on filesystem management, see NAS Lustre Filesystems.
