Recently while working on the LinuxDC++ over the network the application crashed while downloading files. Now my Downloads folder which had at least 60-80GB of data is completely cleaned but the system is not reporting the available the correct free space. Is there way to restore the contents of the folder only as the solution available are for the whole partition. I just want to recover the contents from one folder.
Tell me more

As it turned out that the application itself while downloading the files from DC Network uses a temporary directory to stores files. While I was browsing through the filesystem I just stumbled upon this temporary folder (For LinuxDC++ it under /home//.dc++/FileLists) while looking through it I found most of my files. |

gksudo nautilus, browse to the file system, and tell us whether there are files in/lost+foundand a guess for the total size. – ObsessiveSSOℲ Aug 31 '12 at 17:18fsck? Also, have you tried going to the folder where the files are missing from and tried looking for hidden files with Ctl+H? – ObsessiveSSOℲ Aug 31 '12 at 17:49
