How to get back a deleted project in eclipse

Viewed 68106

Today, by mistake i deleted an entire android project from Eclipse Helios. I searched for it all over the web, i found that we have to open the project navigator and then click on 'Restore from local history'. But it didn't work.I didn't understand what to do. Is there any way how we can get a deleted project back in android. Please give me a step by step way to recover it. My hours of work is in vain. Please, Please help me.

Please follow the guidelines below:

  1. Go to: >File>Open Projects from File System...
  2. Select your Import Source (look for your work-space).
  3. Select the project you deleted from package explorer.
  4. Click finish.

There you go!

If you have deleted the project from eclipse only then it can be restores from above mentioned processes but if you deleted files from eclipse as well as directory then there is one option to restore the project files in eclipse:

  1. Right click on project and then choose "Restore From Local History"
  2. All deleted files will be come with check boxes. Chose the files which you want to restore and then restore.

It accidentally got deleted when I was trying to export it to github, I found it in recycle bin and restored it in my workspace and then imported back to eclipse.
