I accidentally deleted my .bashrc file while managing files in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) through Windows File Explorer. After the deletion, I took the following recovery steps:
- Checked the Recycle Bin: I looked for the .bashrc file there but didn’t find it, indicating it likely didn't go to the Recycle Bin when deleted from WSL.
- Looked for Backups: I checked my Windows File History for any backups of the .bashrc file but found none available.
- Recreated the File: Finally, I manually recreated the .bashrc file using a basic template, successfully restoring my terminal settings, although I lost my previous customizations.
