How do I recover a deleted answer?

I accidentally deleted a long and complex answer. All I wanted to do was edit a typo!

Is there a way to recover and post the deleted answer?

Update:

Thanks Kitty. I tried the youtube suggestion, but it didn't work.

Update 2:

Thanks Nahum. I eventually just rewrote the answer.

    I don't think you can, but I looked it up and came across a YouTube video that has some info on the subject; it involves cached answers. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FzzmbKxVDk Good luck--hope it helps. :)

    Sorry. Once it's gone, it's gone.

    The best you can do is move on to other questions, or maybe vote up other answers that gave good advice.
