Recover files accidentally deleted after use RM - RF

Hello. 6 days there, I'm trying to clean my trash, but an error pops up "the operation cannot be completed because the item is in use. After trying a few method, I found a solution using the: cd ~ /. Trash; rm - rf *. instead of cleaning my trash can (which is not), tht command delete all my means files.i all. with the exception of applications. Is it possible to get it back? or cancel the process? I'm using roadmap and always works right now. And im not save all the files and run only the roadmap for the last 6 days. Thank you.

Without a backup, you will lose a bit of data. You must be very careful if you don't know exactly what you do on the command line that you discovered.

Let the run file recovery and see what he can get it for you. The only other real option apart from another commercial file recovery program (I have no reason to believe that one is better than any other) is to turn off the machine and send it out to a professional data recovery service. Get ready for a Bill in the thousands, however, and no guarantee of recovered data.

    Is it possible to recover?

    I'm not an expert in managing media first offline so I can't talk about this to a great mastery. However, just in case your files have really been deleted, either by the first feature, or something else, I wanted to say the following...

    I had success myself to recover deleted files... below is info of my experience... it may or may not be useful for you...

    Whenever files are actually deleted from the storage medium of the computer, beyond all the features 'Trash' or 'Recycle Bin', the space on the storage media (hard drive or another) is usually returned to the operating system. This usually occurs by the operating system just mark the file as now available for re-use space. In most cases, I've personally seen over the years, when dealing with the accidental deletion of true, a user is best to avoid any use of the computer as much as possible until recovery mechanisms are determined. Any use of your computer, especially, nothing of such software uninstall/reinstall, save documents, even check email etc., cause all the operating system to use existing free space on the storage media, where some of this free space can contain your deleted files, those you want to recover.

    If the feature to delete first offline media does not use the bins or baskets, then it looks like your files might well have been removed as part of the operation of this service option, that you have chosen by accident (to delete instead of keep). If this is the case, these files may well be recoverable according to its configuration, operating system, file systems that you use and how you have used your computer since the incident. If you have reduced its use, you can collect some or all of the files. You'll be able to recovery is indeterminate until actually trying to recovery.

    Note that if the OS of your PC has a file system or the disk driver configured to permanently remove the files after deletion, you can probably get them, but I never heard of this type of installation by default for most users.

    Usually deleted files are available for immediate recovery. The chances of recovery of right kind of come down while you continue to use your system... it's because the free space of the disk (which is currently deleted file data) is used by your activity as a user (e.g., write new documents, copy files, software installation, checking email... anything that uses disk space).

    A bad analogy but perhaps effective, consider the following: a disc resembles a cabinet with drawers in which you (the operating system) can place documents. When you (the operating system) "delete" documents, you (the operating system) marks the drawer as «ready to use», but the documents are always inside the drawer. When you need to store new documents, you (the operating system) are looking for a drawer marked as "ready to use", you open the drawer, remove the old documents and shred them (now are more recoverable) and your new documents in the drawer, and you mark the drawer as "in use, do not use." or something else. In this horrible analogy of mine, 'you' are the operating system... you use drawers that are 'ready to use', but you can see from this analogy that when you (the OS) delete files, simply mark you the drawers according to availability (your original data is always in there until you need to use this 'space' in the future). See?

    If the analogy above is bad because the systems files and records are more complex. For example, disks have sectors of bytes (512 bytes each on a PC). These sectors can be handled in some creative ways of operating systems... it's not important... the fact is that your files can always be there on disk sectors (or groups of sectors) that are marked as "ready to use" but they contain actually still your data. (Or they may not contain your data if you use your PC a lot, or maybe not a lot, but the operating system sometimes just use sectors. You cannot know up to enter the recovery process. There is no forecast here, only good Oi and better practical recovery... that do not guarantee anything for the most part)

    The whole point is that delete files on a PC is really striking space as 'available'... unless an operating system is configured differently, usually it not to wipe the data from the file. If you want to delete, most users use special software for that. I speak to you, however, based on the info that is at least two years... I didn't search for the problems of recovery in a long time... so things change all the time. I can't say what your OS did today... but my experience has always shown that BONES usually don't by default erase data... they just mark it as free and overwrite later only when space is needed. This means that recovery is typically the art and the chance to beat this reuse window correctly using the software recovery or recovery services data lost in the right way.

    There are other such anomalies that restore all files etc which software recovery tries to help doing... This can be more difficult depending on how you use your computer after you have removed the necessary files. If you are reusing a folder, you can "overwrite" file name and uses cleverly info directory as a resumption of the process.

    I have a PC and use Windows, so the in the past, I used PC/Windows-based recovery strategies. I used the following with success in the past...

    I have no affiliation with the companies. I just lost the files before and had great success recovering files with these tools.

    ... of the very important things...

    First of all, I'm kind of a techie so I can navigate in this type of software and the recovery of all treat fairly easily myself. For a typical user, maybe it's not feasible. Recovery services there, they cost money to use... I've never had to use it myself so I can't speak on what is good or not there. However, I bet that there are some very beautiful services rise. I think that one of the above may well have such a service... I don't know about you. In addition, most of these websites that offer recovery software will be guidelines that may help to explain things to you so that you can do yourself... their purpose is usually to help end-users, not just technicians, then you might want to read what recovery software provider web sites say (as above).

    Second, I don't have those above programs used in a long time. I finally used 5 years ago or something and before that as well... whenever I used, they helped me... they are looking for 'free space' on the disk and display the files that are found, let me recover.  I go to their site, whenever I lose a file like that and buy more later to recover when I need it.

    You can also search google more generally for 'file recovery software' and 'file recovery services'... you can even add your system such as "file recovery windows software ' or ' file recovery mac software" etc. Beware you ads from companies that cannot offer the best tools... when I found above, I watched mainly from comments, but should also play... these two companies above seem to always be around, they have always been my "go to" for recovery software, but if I was faced with this today, while I'd go probably on one or two of them still I also want to do a quick search to see what the latest critics say recovery. They may or may not be the best choice... I can't say.

    As mentioned, most of the software recovery and services have websites (as above) that explain some of the same information caveat. If you try to use recovery software, follow the steps in software vendors closely.

    Important note: If you choose to buy this software, be sure to do it from your touch PC. I recommend you DO NOT purchase highly or download new software from your PC affected, and as do not install it right to your existing PC which includes lost... files it is because the very act of download a new file can be replaced and replace the very files you want to recover. When you delete files, generally, they are still present, but they are somehow "hanging on a thread" because the operating system is allowed to crush them at any time when he needs to use the disc to store something... the operating system has done this kind of thing all the time, but when you minimize your use of the computer the operating system has much less to do if you tend to increase your chances of recovery. The less you use your computer, more lucky will not cause you the operating system to use the free space that can hold video files... BUT... by itself is also no guarantee... it's on the cover of the Records... avoiding a lot of use of the computer can increase your chances of recovery by limiting the use of the valuable "free space" that contains important data.

    Final score: The foregoing should not instantly make you happy that you will receive your files... You can't know if the recovery of files will work until it is carried out by a competent person (including you, if you do it properly right). You may have already used your computer enough that crushed some of your files as free space re-used by the operating system. You can't know until you try to recover. Recovery can get all, some or none of your files back, regardless of how careful you are after the erroneous deletion has occurred (your choice of the false option).

    I offer the foregoing only because I know how bad it feels accidentally delete files... but the above isn't me to share my experience in case it offers a glimpse. I can't guarantee anything.

  • I need to recover files I deleted everything by making a disk cleanup.

    I did a disk clean up using the 'Other Options' tab.  After completed cleaning, I discovered the calculator function, the system restore and other files have been deleted.  Is it possible to restore these files?  I have Windows XP.

    Hi dollimae,

    There is no option to recover files deleted by the disk cleanup utility. However we recommend to check the trash to see if all the files listed there. If so, then restore them.

  • Recover files of program after reinstallation of Windows 7

    I had a technician MS reinstall W7 after that my Windows Update has stopped working.  I told her that I did not have a backup and he informed me that he did.  I'm still all my files located in "My Documents", but no program file.  I saw a Windows.old folder while it was updating, but I ain't.

    I tried to reach MS to confirm things that is, if program files have been truly saved or are they gone, etc., but no chance to reach.  I lost a chat session last night after waiting for two hours about in the Chat (QC) I'm on the cat once again this morning and after finally getting my turn, the tech said that my session had grown to level 2 and that he might ask someone to call me back.  2 hours later, someone called back and after reviewing my previous case information and confirm my identity (telephone number and e-mail address), he informed me that he was level 1 and I need to talk to someone at level 2.  I asked to speak to a supervisor and after being put on hold, the appeal has been abandoned and no one called back.  I'm home in Chat tonight, and after 3 hours and 199 people in front of me, the system to a standstill when I got to number 1 for an hour and then I got an error.  Now, I have another request for a callback, which will not happen until Thursday.  It's Saturday night.  I know I am fan but I just need to know what my options are.  I don't have a disk for 2 programs that I need, which are to mix, so I'll probably have to buy them back.

    I am very frustrated.  The first tech should have asked/warned/informed me that my program files would be deleted or removed.  Why this would not be saved when all my data was?

    You are welcome.

  • Where Firefox temporarily store user.js settings when the file is deleted after a first run?

    Hello

    Try to deploy user settings in our area via user.js, I do not want to be forced inside the GUI. So I save a user.js file temporarily in the user profile, launch Firefox now and then delete the file again. Now, all the settings have become part of Firefox' settings but I can't find them in the prefs.js or user.js. Now my question is: where Firefox stores this information? Is there a SQlite DB be somewhat different in the registry? In fact, I don't want to get rid of my script isn't that kind of lack of fault tolerance and complicated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    No worries - this isn't your Setup, it's always a problem get it right first time...

    Let's start it is super simple - put this in the file local - settings.js in/defaults/pref:

    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    

    and then in mozilla.cfg which must go in the same folder as following firefox.exe (these files should probably be ANSI encoded this way):

    //
    lockPref("lis.a.a", 2);
    

    doesn't this show preferably upwards in all: config subsequently, when you launch the browser?

  • file accidentally deleted pref.js

    I was copying pref.js but deleted instead. Can I get it replaced?

    IIRC on XP if you delete a file, then, by default it's going in the trash and you will have an option to recreate the deleted file. (Files on other players or aid; I think that; Shift delete permanently deletes).

    The prefs.js file will be created and changed that you manually re-create your configuration with changes to Firefox.
