When I use Shift+Del to delete permanently a file (in this case "wrong
file"), this file is sent to a hidden folder? Which?

Only way to get it back is, with recovering programs or, can I do it
mannually?

No, Shift+Del will not move a file to a hidden folder. It will
delete it permanently. You have two options to recover it:
- Try one of the countless undelete programs you find on
Google. Note that any activity on your PC - even installing
such a program - will reduce your chances of successful
recovery. It is best to install the undelete program on some
other other PC, then connect your disk to that PC as a
slave disk.
- Restore the file from your backup. If it is an important file
then you must have backed it up. If you haven't then this
is the time to review your backup philosophy. A 2.5" disk
in an external USB case is a low-cost but highly effective
backup medium.
