    This is not a programming question.
    If you delete files, you might be able to undelete them using some system tool or restore a backup.

    Cheers,

    If you are using MingW (looks like it) and the program was a debug build and it was built using the -g option and the resulting files were not stripped then you might be able able to get something like source out. It will not be exactly what the program was built from but nobody said reverse engineering programs was easy.

    For a one file wonder program you are probably better off retyping from memory.
    Backups and a source code control system are an easier option
