vhd

I had a MS Virtual machine that I imported to virtual box to see how it worked.

I decided that in this case MS Virtual machine worked just as good so removed the virtual machine from Virtual Box.

In the process I accidently removed/deleted the vhd file that MS Virtual machine uses.

Can I get this back from somewhere within virtual box or the recycle bin or do I have to use a undelete utlilty?
