Find all files on the filesystem that I have edited or created

Question

In Ubuntu, is it possible to obtain a list of all files on the filesystem that I have edited? I need some way to find all the files that I have modified or written (because these files tend to be the most important to me, and I need a way to identify them so that I won't accidentally delete them.)

Answer 1

Using find command you can list the files created/edited by a user.

find / -mtime -10 -type f -user userid -print

This will search all the files created/edited in last 10 days.

use sudo if you are searching the files under / file system and if it's only your home directory($HOME) ignore sudo command.
