After trying to remove Wine from Ubuntu, all my files were suddenly gone. That is, I do not see any of my documents etc., but my hard drive says only 3 GB is still available (which is common for my small hard drive).
The problem occurred after doing this: How to remove wine completely and then the top rated answer (of pagal pila). Most likely I did something not appropriate for my version/pc (Learned the hard way that people shouldn't just try commands they don't understand).
Does anyone know how to recover/show my removed/hidden files?
As commented, I ran history:
1 sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
2 rm -rf $HOME/ .wine
3 sudo
4 sudo rm -rf $HOME/.wine
5 sudo rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
6 rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
7 rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
8 rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine
9 rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
10 sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
11 sudo apt-get update
12 sudo apt-get autoclean
13 sudo apt-get clean
14 sudo apt-get autoremove
15 apt-get update
history
.f
inrm
unless you have confirmed it will delete what is intended and always checkrm
commands more than once ;-) Oh and the mandatory: always make a backup on regular intervals.$HOME
and.wine
first deleted your entire home directory, and then a file called.wine
in your working directory.
