I had made changes to a file and then shelved it.
Then I deleted the file.

Now I am not able to get it back to my workspace. I tried p4 sync -f and p4 unshelve ##.

What do I do ?

    p4 unshelve is the correct command.

    To figure out which shelf you need to unshelve, use p4 changes -s shelved and p4 describe -S

    What’s probably going wrong is that when you deleted the file, you still left it “opened” in Perforce (do p4 opened to see), so first do a p4 revert to revert the file, then you can successfully unshelve the shelf and you’ll get your edited version back.
