Re: delete files after being recovered
Make sure that you have the necessary rights and that you do not store anything on your broken source disk.

"Change the owner of the files, example sudo chown -R username recup_dir.* or sudo chown -R username /home/username/testdisk-6.14/recup_dir.*

Instead of changing the owner you could enable rights "free for all style":
chmod -R 777 /home/username/testdisk-6.14/

Re: delete files after being recovered
What is majaro as opposed to Manjaro?
What is "this"? Try to be specific and prevent misinterpretation.
The most recent version of Testdisk is 7.2-WIP.
SystemRescueCD, Gparted-Live, Knoppix-CD and Knoppix-DVD have version 7.1 of Testdisk built in.
I prefer Linux Mint with the XFCE desktop. You can run Linux Mint in Live Mode (without installation) When keying in "testdisk" in a shell you are being told what to do to install Testdisk. You just need a working internet connection.

When trying to run the most recent version 7.2-WIP (which is not beta software but rather the most current version) you don't need to compile the Testdisk source code. You can download precompiled binaries:
