linux - Entered wrong commands quickly - possibly nuked a bunch of files -
i hoping explain me happened here , if there's command can run fix this.
i have chromebook xenial chroot on it, , wanted move sd card. first command ran sudo mv /usr/local/chroots . -v while current directory sd card. finished , output '/usr/local/chroots' => './chroots' , removed '/usr/local/chroots' , perplexed. realize forgot -r wasn't aware create kind of symbolic link instead of failing move folder.
then, ran ls on sd card chroots , 22 ecryptfs folders there. hadn't realized yet had made symbolic link extremely confused why thought data on sd card. ran sudo mv /media/remoable/sdcard/chroots/ . -v inside /usr/local/. started showing moving ton of files - how can moving things sd card chromebook when never on sd card in first place? stopped after minute. thinking there weird symbolic linking going on , wanted started, did quick rm chroots (not -r) in sd card folder.
now, in /usr/local/chroots there's 14 of 22 folders there before , startunity says no installation found. size of folder 1.8gb , i'm more before. i'm in despair.
what did somehow caused me wipe bunch of data, without ever having run rm -r? there can was? data must still there looks somehow nuked directory or something. i'm still confused. there must bunch of orphaned files out there somewhere.
