Where does the files I delete from my USB port go to??

Hi,
I need to find a folder that i accidentally deleted from my USB. From my
understanding, the deleted file/folder from the USB will not go to the
computer's recycle bin. Therefore, where does it go.. will i be able to
retrieve it??? >_<

Thank you!!^^

If you haven't overwritten it with something else, then it may be
recoverable. The common file recovery utilities should work with a USB
device as well as they work with an ordinary disk. See, for instance:
