mv command deleted a folder - Ask Ubuntu
i new linux. had folder called "código" kept of .h's , .cpp's when programmed. wanted move said folder 1 directory , new folder called "code", in terminal typed following:
mv ./código ..-code
of course, meant type:
mv ./código ../code
but forgot keyboard in spanish mode. "código" folder not exist. cant find searches of file system. tried cd-ing "..-code", "-code", , ".-code" , didn't that... can tell me happened folder, , if it's contents recoverable (without disk recovery utility)?
i looked @ man page , did basic googling found nothing useful. wasn't sure google...
i followed instructions :)
i mean, created folder called código/
, executed same (wrong) command.
what happened folder código/
renamed ..-code/
. name of folder starts dot (.
) hidden folder.
now if execute ls -a
in terminal, folder ..-code/
should appear (as every hidden file in directory).
you can see hidden files using nautilus (the ubuntu file manager) pressing ctrl+h
.
edit: in order recover ('un-hide') folder need execute mv ..-code ./code
, you'll have folder named wanted.
