I accidently deleted a directory that has hundreds of sub directories and thousands of files. I would like to get those deleted files recovered.
What I have tried:
I verified one process is still having those files open therefore those files haven't been fully deleted from the disk.
I tried to use
lsof | grep '(deleted)'to locate those files and managed to recover one file at a time, however there are thousands of files to be recovered and I failed to find a way to do bulk recovery.
I'm wondering if there is a way to recover all of them in bulk and keep the files' names and folder structure the same as before? lsof output excerpt:
qe 1042 CENSORED 2680r REG 8,1 13011367 0 312557 /home/CENSORED/file_a.epub (deleted)
qe 1042 CENSORED 2698r REG 8,1 12560738 0 312077 /home/CENSORED/b/file_b.zip (deleted)
qe 1042 CENSORED 2744r REG 8,1 12805603 0 312623 /home/CENSORED/c/sub_directory/file_c.pdf (deleted)
Thanks a lot!
