How to recover deleted directory

I deleted a directory via WebDAV by accident. I have looked through the web interface but cannot see any of the deleted files/directories. I then went to restore my repository from backup to a different location so I could export the directory I deleted and re-import it to the live repository. However, I quickly found out that I had not been backing up the repository. I obviously have changed that now but how do I restore/undelete the directory I deleted by accident?

It's not possible. When you delete using webdav it don't goes to a temporary trash folder. It's definitively deleted. You must use backup for it.
Are you on windows or on linux ?

Server is FC13 64-bit and the WebDAV client is Windows Vista Business.

You could try recovering some folder and files from disk under repository folder. Althought names and extensions could not have coincidence what you seeing in OpenKM the binary files might be the same. For doing it you can use some recovering file tools. That's the only way you can recover something you've deleted.
Don't install any application etc... better if you can umount the disk and mount in other os and there install some file recover application.
