Hi All,
I seem to have really screwed things up! I was trying to get rid of
some unwanted data from a Shotwell database and now all my folders are
empty and all icons have gone from the desktop.
The command I put in was rm -rf ~/ .shotwell/Examples
I got a message telling me it was busy and it seemed to do nothing.
I have tried restoring the last complete backup plus incrementals but
still no files to be found. Can anyone help please?
You have deleted all your home directory. You could have tried booting
from knoppix CD and running testdisk to try and undelete/recover the
files. This may still be worth trying.
How have you restored the backup files?
I you are local to Poole could look at restoring them.
John.
