Hi Antonio - Unfortunately, Tux Paint doesn't have a concept of a trash can,
or does it (currently) use the desktop environment's (e.g., "Recycle Bin" on
Windows, "Trash" most other places).

At this point, you'll need to use an Undelete tool, and hope for the best.

I wonder how difficult it is to invoke each OS's 'move to trash' functionality,
because that might be a safer way of handling things. (Even though Tux Paint
already asks "Are you sure?"  Obviously, that doesn't help 100% of the time :) )

Sorry & good luck!
