How to recover a file after deleting shift-del?

Question

Data recovery

The essence of the problem is this.
Finished drawing the project (the file was in the dropbox folder), started synchronization. After that, a second file appeared with a record at the end of the file name - a conflicting copy with the computer ... This has already happened, and these were usually two identical files in content, so without thinking (very even in vain) I pressed shift + del. I open the file, and there is a copy of 5 days ago, at the stage of just beginning. Everything has already worked on the box server, the file is lost.
I try to restore, nothing happens, it only looks for a file that is already in the sources. After that, I did not save anything, except for programs for recovery.
The first time is that he is not looking. Who faced, tell me. Thank you.

Answer 1

the problem is that a 5-day-old version was saved there, the rest of the time the file was stored on the machine without synchronization with the box. Thanks for the answer, but this method does not work unfortunately, especially for conflicting copies

Answer 2

What recovery software did you use?
When restoring, it is recommended to make an image of the media and work with it.
