If you don't have a working backup, your file is lost. Take a look
here:

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12264
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12260

And there are a lot more out there.

The bug has been present for some months now, and there is no real
solution. I would *strongly* suggest to use something else than
Thunar. The bug is ugly as hell, and it doesn't look like it will be
fixed in the near future.
