Accidental deletion of data in contacts application file

While trying to follow instructions from an application web site to correct doubled listing in my contact file, I accidentally deleted the date in the contacts file under applications rather than the contact storage file.  (settings/applications/manage applications/contacts.  The Droid seems to work OK but I am wondering what I deleted and if I need to take it in and have it somehow restored.  Does anyone know what data was in the Contact file?
Thanks

It should just be a simple system file that will not affect the use of the device. However if it does begin to affect the use and operation the device you can always perform a factory reset to clear it back to like new.

    Help ... I've accidentally deleted all data of my user in the terminal. what to do? Can i undo the commands?
    greetings from austria

    You cannot undo commands. When you delete/remove files with the rm command the files are not put in the trash where they could be recovered. They are gone.
    You should have your system backed up with Time machine and/or backup clone of your system. Use them to recover you files.

  • I accidentally deleted my Photoshop CC 1 application, how do I reinstall it?

    I accidentally deleted my Photoshop CC 1 application, how do I reinstall it?

    There are advantages of using the direct download and installing over what is installed. It is the way I have been able to back out a buggy Adobe CC update.   You do not need to backup yous system first and remove all of Adobe's software and clean your system of residual Adobe rat droppings. Downloading is not part of the installation for you have downloaded.  You also now have your own copy of the install should you have problems in the future to re-install with.  When you do install your activation is still intact and all that you have added to Photoshop is still there and functional and does not need to be re-installed.  You do need to use menu Help>Updates to update CC for the install install CC version 14.0 The normal install will most likely do the same and need to be updated.  Don't know for sure I only installed CC that way the first time I installed CC.   The other two Installs I did were from the direct install.  One was to back out Adobe bad CC update.   You can also download all the CC updates and selectively install the ones you need. It took Adobe a month to fix their bad CC update.   The other install I had to do was to recover some CC file that became corrupt which caused some other CC update to fail to install.   After the re-install the update installed without a problem.  CC updates can be downloaded from All the Adobe CC Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools

  • Accidentally Delete iCloud Data?

    Hi,
    I use iCloud for Windows.  When I try to sign-out of iCloud on PC, it displays a message:

  • How to recover accidentally deleted data in MAC X10.9

    I accidentally deleted my Data from the hard disk drive (around 5000 images) and some documents. Please suggest me a way to recover it back as it is very important and emergency. I do not have Time machine or any other source to back up my data. Please suggest me a way!!!

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • How do I delete data from my Download file?

    I WANT TO DELETE THE DATA FROM MY DOWNLOAD FILE.

    In List view, hold shift to delete a range from the first one you click to the last one you click. Then hold down the command key and press delete and they will all go to the Trash as a group (no dragging needed).
    Be sure to "Empty Trash" to actually remove them.
    The command key can be used instead of Shift to 'pick and choose', adding each newly-clicked item to the developing group.

  • I Accidentally deleted my music files!? wont allow me to play music?!

    My old iphone 4's lock button broke so i got a new iphone 4 and used my back up to put all of my stuff back on my iphone. Everything went back on it except for my music. I plugged it back into my Macbook and it synced for a while and then "There is no more space in your harddrive to continue to sync" popped up...it also said to delete items to clear space. So i went to my finder and i accidentally deleted like all of my music files! The music still shows up in my itunes library but when i click it to play the music, a pop up appears saying "Cannot locate this music file" or something like that and it has a button that says "LOCATE" so i press it and it tries to locate that music file but there is no music file there. Please help! i need my music back! thanks!

    You need to restore the files from the most recent backup of your computer.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases. -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you do not have other items backed up, you cannot restore them (because you do not have them in a backup to restore from).

  • Accidentally deleted Utilites Folder

    Hi,
    I have accidentally deleted my Utilities folder in 'Applications' thinking it was a folder for Adobe CC which I wanted uninstalled.  Trash Can has been emptied, also, and to pay for my sins I never had Time Machine turned on, never thought I'd need it.  Oops.
    I have a late 2012 (i think) iMac 27". It does not have a disk drive so no good using Disc to reinstall anything. Is there anything I can do?  To be honest I didn't even realise anything was wrong until I tried clicking on 'About This Mac' and got nothing.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Restore it from your Time Machine backup or boot into the Recovery Partition (Command + R) on startup and reinstall OS X. This re-install will not overwrite your data files, however you should ALWAYS have a backup in place before doing so.
