is it in your recycle bin? 
If you use steam, is it in your cloud save?

Quick answer: you're hosed. It's gone.

Less quick answer: try the previous versions tab in the folder properties. Long shot, but if that weird back-up thing that windows can do is turned on,..

Longer answer: you're going to need a greater degree of magic to bring it back than many will feel comfortable providing over the fora. Mostly because you can _really_ foul things up if you have to go rooting around at that level of the file system manually. There are some third party utils out there that will let you undelete files. But, the longer you take to get them in the less likely it is you'll get it back, and putting them in place risks being unable to recover the file in the first place. I'm not going to recommend it however, if you don't know/understand what you're going to end up doing and why. The rather graphic metaphor is you're sticking you hand in the sink dispos-all trying to clean it out.
