Kubuntu 18.04, computer pre-configured with W10 but never used, booting straight into KU
- I tried various changes with Folder View (?) and Desktop (?) to understand the differences between the two.
- Unfinished with (1), I went on to delete some directories (youtube, soundcloud) and files (which where a few bytes big but showed no content on Kate) in the /home directory.
- When I opened dolphin I noticed that my directory,
/home/xyz/MYCOMPLETESTUFF/
which I use to store all my files went missing. Other (default) directories are still there incl. content. E.g./home/xyz/Videos
,/home/xyz/Pictures
, etc. - Ages ago I had a sort of link created from MYCOMPLETESTUFF to a FolderView or Desktop for quick access.
- My directory has a size of over 50 GB, yet on the disk there's only about 3 GB of free space. So, I assume it must still be out there somewhere.
What is the likely cause of the disappearance of my directory? How do I retrieve the data?
find
andlocate
- to no avail.
