How to get back lost folders?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2810 / 2 Years ago, sun, october 16, 2022, 7:12:19

I want to know how to find any folder which has been deleted by accident. I cannot find my Document, Pictures and Video folders in $HOME. They just disappeared.
I tried doing cd ~/Documents from the terminal but there seems to be no folder.

Any idea how to look for them ?

Depends on what you mean. But if you REALLY deleted them and they are not in trash you could try with: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

I would definitly run it from a boot cd (and not install it on the harddrive) if the home-partition are the same as the root partition. Otherwise you will likely overwrite the lost files.

But you will need luck...
