When you're opening a file from Pro-E, and you delete a file, by mistake, will it show up in Recycle bin? If not, anyway to recover it?

It will not be in the recycle bin. Only way I know to recover is from some kind of backup (tape, etc.).

Most applications that have a delete file function do a direct delete and do not put the files in the recycle bin. Like deleting a file on a another computer in a open window, it does not get dumped to teh recycle bin.

My guess is that it COULD be done, but the delete file routines would have to be rewritten and most of them predate the recycle bin concept.

He's gone

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb, you know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said, Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!

Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back.

The file is gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back. (One of my favorite Grateful Dead songs.)

Actually, there are some programs that can attempt to undelete files. Most disk file systems do not actually erase the bits when a file is deleted, they just mark them unused. The data can be found and hypothetically reassembled. The sooner this is attempted the better because if even a single bit is overwritten you will never get it back. I remember trying to do this once without success.
