I was using FileZilla to try to transfer some files. I made one mouse-click in the wrong place and wound up deleting a directory with over 14,000 files that I very much did not want deleted. I'm sure FileZilla is doing something like rm -rf and not moving the directory to "trash". I have a backup using IDrive, but their restore function is also failing. I have a call into them, so there is hope in that direction, but is there anything I can do to restore it locally?
UPDATE (1 day later):
Never mind. The files weren't deleted. The mouse click in FileZilla moved the directory under the one above it in the list. I thought I had checked this with the find command but I must have done it wrong.
At least we've re-established the fact that there's nothing we can do if we really did delete the folder.
And also that there's no point in using FileZilla anymore unless you're managing lots of servers. Just the plain Ubuntu Files app can handle my needs though it's a bit hidden. Someone suggested I use it but it's not necessary.
