I accidentally deleted a simba script (it was accidentally deleted when i was playing with DeleteFile()/DeleteDirectory() so it didnt go to recycle bin), i panicked and went to google (a grave mistake) for a data recovery software, found recuva but it said the script has been overwritten with a file in chrome appdata (i shouldn't have used the same computer to google...).

So does anyone know any way to recover the overwritten file? I googled around and most ppl said it's possible but extremely difficult, but didnt elaborate what i have to do. So exactly how difficult it is (more difficult than rewriting a few thousand lines of code?) and how do i go about doing it?

ps: i did not have 'file history' turned on
