[Dorset] Help please with deleted files.
This morning I ran freefilesync as a backup program, but didn't have it configured correctly. It has deleted some files and now my system is totally not as I intended it. I can get into dolphin and see all the files in the wastebasket, but every time I try to restore a file it tells me that the file already exists and won't restore it. I am hoping that this is all I need to do, but I am not sure how to get into the wastebasket from the Command line and force the restoring of the files. Alternatively I could go to my previous backup, but again I am not sure that it will overwrite the files. Perhaps I need to do it as root? Any advice welcomed.
