Linux current filesystem does not need defrag (normally, but there is a tool
if you want). On the other hand, there are project to have the thrash
feature, so you could get you files back... but not currently.

There has been some talk in the GNOME-GUI list about trash bins and such,
and it seem that some kind will be implemented (OS independant, I suppose).
