Hello Guru,
Please I mistakenly removed my project directory while trying to push to github. I am dieing as i type. I removed the directory using rm -rf ~/directorylocation . I have searched the internet to see how I can recover the directory but the solution i have tried weren't recovering the directory. I have not restarted my computer after I deleted and the date I mistakenly deleted it was still today 2nd of August, 2024.
********WHAT I HAVE TRIED
I have tried to recover the directory by doing the following:
a) Change directory to the ~/.Trash directory,
In the directory, i could find other deleted files and es but I couldn't find my project directory I was looking for there until I read that files or directories deleted using the rm -rf ~/direcorylocation cannot be recovered like that. To my surprise, i came across the software EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, i used the software to search for deleted File and Directories on my computer and after almost 4hrs searching the software found my project directory but to my surprise it needs me to upgrade and pay despite the fact that my project directory is not upto 2GB that is given as Free license edition but the EaseUS Data Recovery software wouldn't allow me recover the directory.
My question is, where on my mac computer is this directory and how do I recover the directory I deleted using rm -rf ~/directorylocation in MacOS? At least the EaseUS Data Recovery found it on my computer.
Please help gurus.
Thank you in advance.
