Undelete would only work on ext2 partitions. 
Mor information about undelete on ext2 partitions you will find here
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html
As more as you wrote on this partition after you delete the file, the
less your chances to be able to undelete the files.

If you delete on a non ext2 partition you can have a look at tools
like:
- autopsy/sleuthkit
- foremost
- or maybe PhotoRec
