Inside the brain of a Geek: Undo an Accidental Move, Copy or Delete

Have you every attempt a file move only to have your mouse skills falter the process and now you must search to find where the file end up?  My favorite thing to do is select multiple files and accidently create copies. Or just delete the wrong file or folder? In any of these cases using Ctrl + Z or Edit \ Undo will quickly reverse whatever you didn’t mean to do.
