Need help with testdisk in Ubuntu

#1 Post by Lumaja »

Ubuntu 16.04
Testdisk 7.0

I am complete new with this application and need explanation and help.
Running the first time the things went wrong and notice that the files permission is on root so I can’t delete them.
I decide to run the app again this time run with the command photo rec it run until it stop with
Elapsed time: 1h37m41s Estimated time to completion: 0h16m36
on the bottom of the report there is STOP and pressing the Enter key does nothing I had to stop the
Terminal.
My questions are first Elapsed and Estimated times are correct? and if not how to fix this?
Second again found on the last Rescue that the files can’t be deleted.
How to over come the root permission I really need to delete some of them.

Thank you
