    I cut some files to paste it somewhere else and when I was in the location to paste, the paste option was disabled. I go back to where it was (the source from where I cut the folders) and the files wasn't there. So I did some exploring for the files and I found it in the trash. I tried to restore the files, but that fails with an error

    restore missing files. 
    

    How to get my files back?

      You want to make that an answer, because I want to say that you have answered it.

    I have tried searching and no luck. I used the "restore missing files".

    Sorry - I've never heard of a command or an application called "restore missing files" What exactly did you do to make this command happen?

    If the files don't show up when you search for them, I guess they are just plain gone. Sorry.

    restore missing files is when you right click in a folder and it's in the menu. It's part of the default backup program on 12.04.
