If you remove a really important file, it may be worth a shot to try and
recover it with debugfs. The more files you remove at once, though, the
harder it is. The file names are gone as if they had never been, so
it's a bit of a challenge figuring out which of the deleted inodes might
be of interest. Sometimes I have succeeded. More often I have decided
it wasn't worth the effort.
