git: recover untracked files after git stash - git stash apply

Question

After

sudo git stash
sudo git stash apply stash@{1}

untracked files which were not stashed were deleted.

Is there a way to restore them? I'm using Centos 7.

Tried to list these files in git somewhere git rev-list -g stash | xargs -n1 git ls-tree -r | sort -u | grep conf but cannot see what I'm searching.

i dont think you can recover information you havent stored.. — Bagus Tesa

may be it is possible not by git tools but using some linux recovering instruments — Marina Panova

something like this? i havent tried but seems worth to try. afaik, the chances getting something back intact after you mess (write stuff) into the disk is pretty slim. — Bagus Tesa

Thank you so much, Bagus! Useful link. Actually I already restored system - did git pull again and found old config files. Seems like it works, huh. Really appreciate your help, thank you. I was in such a panic that any word is useful. Will copy the whole repo folder for any changes next time.. — Marina Panova
