• Looking for: extundelete - utility to recover deleted files from ext3/ext4 partition
• To find such a package, you can try: apt-cache search undelete
• To use the utility install it with: sudo apt-get install extundelete
• After installation invoke man extundelete and study it carefully
• extundelete --restore-file /opt/andy/bin/clean-bin-dir /dev/sda5
• extundelete --restore-directory /opt/andy/bin/clean-bin-dir /dev/sda5
• replace rm with trash
• rm is dangerous operation, and it's hard to restore deleted file. Solution: trash-cli:
• Install trash-cli – sudo apt-get install trash-cli
• Put files in the trash with: trash-put file1 file2
• List files in trash: trash-list
• Empty trash with: trash-empty
• another options is to use gvfs
• alias rm=trash, but trash don't support delete folder
• Linux replace in all files
•  .
• Linux Commands
•  tar -cvf files.tar my_directory --remove-files
