I accidentally deleted a very important zip file through NetBeans

I was working on my NetBeans and I accidentally deleted a zip folder that was on my desktop...a very important all through netbeans on the left side of Netbeans you can see all your projects and one of my projects was on the desktop of my Mac. I selected it and then I opened the source file, selected that zip file and pressed the delete button on my keyboard, it asked me if I wanted to delete and I said yes... I thought it was going to remove only on the NetBeans table, not on all my computer source ... it even didn't go to the trash... I assume if that happens, I must have a way to get back that file...like it moved to another folder or something.

In Netbeans, there is also the option of History->Revert Deleted.

e.g. right click on the object in the tree owning the object that was deleted, and choose the above menu option.

History retention is set from the Tools->Options menu, under the Miscellaneous tab and the Versioning systems in the left-hand pane. I think the default retention time is 7 days.
