Cygwin does not delete files in any way differently that windows.  Do
the same thing that you would do if you accidentally deleted files in
Explorer or the Command Prompt.  A google search for "undelete software"
or "recover deleted files" would be where I'd start.  I've used
GetDataBack NTFS in the past with success.  This is not a Cygwin
question at all really.
