Down the bottom right hand corner of the screen there should be a trash bin. Click on it and it will show the deleted files. You should then be able to
1) right click and choose “restore”
2) copy the file back to the thumb drive
If it is not in the trash, go to the thumb drive and from the ‘View’ menu choose “Show Hidden files”. Then look for a file names “.Trash” (Note: there is a dot at the start). You file may be somewhere in that folder
