Maybe it depends on the file system. They certainly were when I used it.
Or maybe you're thinking of the lost+found directory, rather than the testdisk program? That's a very different feature and unlikely to help with an accidental rm, but can rescue something that got lost due to power failure.
For the record, it is a **GOOD THING** that none of us are deeply familiar with the tools that help you recover from disasters. I would be a lot more scared if we were using them every day...
