I am having one particular folder (/home/sam/officedocuments
) which is having hundreds of folders and files.
I think I deleted some files and folders by mistake but I'm not sure.
How to find which files / folders were:
- deleted recently in Linux?
- changed recently in Linux?
I just want to know which files and folders were deleted. Recovering those deleted files and folders is not important for me.
OS: CentOS
ext3grep
utility to find out information about deleted files. With some scripting it should be possible to put together simple application that lists deleted files based on specific directory. These utilities however needs raw access to disk and as such are extremely dangerous if not used properly (non-blocking read only operations should be completely safe if you remember that writing to disk same time could cause current operation to return broken/incorrect data).
