deleted. how? `rm -rf` ?

First of all: Immediately unmount or read-only-remount the partition
(mount -o remount,rw /dev/...) -- worst case SysRq+u (remount all
read-only), SysRq+b (reboot now), boot a live-CD rescue-system.

SysRq is "ALT-Gr+Print-Screen" on a most PC keyboards, not sure if
that's on your braille input device.

There's "e2undel", it's no fun but it may work.

good luck,
