Do you have variable delete-by-moving-to-trash as T ? Then the file
may be still in your trash to be recovered. It looks like C-k in ido
would ask you to delete the file but if the variable is set, the file
would go silently to Trash.

Anyway I hope that function is completely removed by developers as it
is close to C-j to expand the completion.

Use Ivy for completion or helm.

I found that standard Emacs completion is less obtrusive and equally
efficient. I use Ivy or helm when I need relevance search to match
words apart form each other.

Otherwise using joker *artial-file-name in built-in completion is just
quick.
