If you just deleted the file  know that VSCode 1 52  Dec  2020  will support   Undo file operations in Explorer   Explorer now supports Undo and Redo for all file operations  delete  rename  copy  move  new file and new folder  Make sure the focus is in the Explorer and trigger the Undo or Redo commands and your last file operation will be undone or redone respectively  Keep in mind that we have separate undo stacks for the editor and the explorer and we choose which one to undo based on focus

Just look up the files you deleted  inside Recycle Bin  Right click on it and do restore as you do normally with other deleted files  It is similar as you do normally because VS code also uses normal trash of your system
