Could you retrieve it from the recycle bin? or use some nice recovery tool to retrieve it?
What OS are you using?

If your local file was not in the repository, and it has been deleted, I'm afraid it's beyond version-control and you'll have to try normal data recovery methods to get it back. It sounds like the equivalent of rming a file you did not back up.

Can you do a clean checkout and then revert back to where the file was?
