Does this answer your question? How to recover deleted files? – karel Sep 02 '23 at 14:07

You can try what is in the answers, but with dd it is actually known to overwrite the entire file and not just delete the file pointer like a normal delete will do. dd is also known as disk/data duplicator or disk destroyer because of the way that it handles data. So your .vdi file may not be recoverable. – Terrance Sep 02 '23 at 14:38

If it's very important, then you of course have a backup.... – Artur Meinild Sep 12 '23 at 05:29
