I was moving my files between two folders through GUI. Suddenly the GUI got struck(hanged). So,I closed it. Now I am unable to find my files. I didn't find any software like remo,minitool(recovery softwares for windows,macOS) for Ubuntu. Any help ?

  • did you see your files in the terminal with `ls -l` in src/dst folders? – damadam Jun 06 '18 at 12:52
  • Yes I saw both folders(destination and source). – Mohan Abhyas Jun 06 '18 at 12:53
  • I don't speak about your folders; for example, your missing file is `toto.txt`, does `ls -l` displays this file in one of your src/dst folders (for example `/home/toto/Downloads` or `/home/toto`)? `ls -l` results is something like *-rw-r--r-- 1 toto toto 6746 april 5 09:06 toto.txt* – damadam Jun 06 '18 at 13:01
  • No, it is not displaying in both src/dst folders – Mohan Abhyas Jun 06 '18 at 13:04
  • and you checked the bin? – damadam Jun 06 '18 at 13:06
  • Yes , I checked /bin. I didn't find them – Mohan Abhyas Jun 06 '18 at 13:07
  • If you want to play safely, *copy* the files, and check that the copies are there before you remove the files from the original location. You use a command line tool, for example `rsync` (and also in this case, remove the files from the original location, when you know that `rsync` has finished successfully). – sudodus Jun 06 '18 at 13:13
  • Thank u for suggestion but can you help me to recover my files? – Mohan Abhyas Jun 06 '18 at 13:15
  • On what drive were your files? An internal drive or external drive? Maybe you can use PhotoRec according to this link, http://cgsecurity.org – sudodus Jun 06 '18 at 13:30
