Hello,
I have accidentally erased 20000 pgm pictures on my Linux system (Ubuntu emulated with VirtualBox), by a rm -r ./* command in the wrong directory!!!
I have right away saved my image disk before going any further.
I have been trying for the whole day to recover my datas with photorec without any success.
I am using the photorec 6.13 with the PPM/PGM files selected.
I am not sure about the filesystem I should select (is ext4 supported on this version). Also I don't have the unallocated memory only option with ext2/ext3/ext4 selection
Also which file partition should I select. I have E extented L Linux and whole disk (I chose whole disk).
Does anyone has recovered files after a rm command on linux?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
File recovery
