I accidentally deleted the Files folders from /usr/share/application, and now I can't open the Trash bin from the unity Panel. and I can't open any of my folders from the Dash.

Also, my home folder is missing from the Panel (or Launcher). I ran gksu nautilus /usr/share/application/ and deleted a couple of Files folders by mistake.

When I open the Trash bin from a window, the folders I deleted are not in there so I can't restore them.
