undo ´delete´ and ´delete´ folder only

Hi
When I copy photos/videos from my camcorder to Harddisk, it happens sometimes by mistake that I delete a folder/file, is there a way to undo it? (I copy with mouse/keyboard commands). And also, is there a way to delete only the folder, without the files in it?
Thanks

It depends on the desktop you use, and the file browser or application you are using to do the
delete. There may be a trash folder where you might see the deleted files from the hard disk.

If you are deleting files on a camera with FAT filesystem, then there is an application that is good
at recovering photos and such. It runs for hours. and results are not guaranteed.

No. What would happen to the files, where would they be placed?
