recovering a deleted directory

Post by COKEDUDE »

I accidentally deleted a very important directory today with this rm -r. What would be the recommended way to recover my directory? After a lot of googleing I have seen these choices. Could I get some recommendations please?
Testdisk
Photorec- Doesn't recover file name like I would like.
debugfs- Can't get the syntax right. I have encrypted home directory.

Hi,

Since you said you encrypt your home, then almost all the apps you listed cannot recover your files perfectly.

I've tried photorec, it's OK already (content is important, not filename)
