As Francisco mentioned, depending on the filesystem you're using, there may |
| 25 |
exist an 'undelete' tool which came with the util package. If not, then |
| 26 |
assuming you have at least a few gigs of free space on your drive/partition |
| 27 |
the chances that the file was /actually/ overwritten are quite slim, so the |
| 28 |
cert is most likely still there. Any decent "data recovery" program should |
| 29 |
be able to find it (and just about every single other file you've ever |
| 30 |
deleted). I wish I could recommend one, but I thankfully have not needed one |
| 31 |
recently (hopefully this won't jinx it :) ). |

Good Luck! |
