Photorec Filtering of Directory to look in
Posted: 12 Jan 2020, 08:04
Have used TestDisk to get to Photorec. Linux Mint 17.
I have 1 sub folder (in Documents folder) which I deleted in error. Know the name (OCR1950s)
Using terminal in Phototec I selected partition for Linux and it started running. Going thru the whole partition (expected time 1 hour plus!) So I stopped the running.
With the work done in directory: 'Home' I now have about 12 folders of 500 files each. All : recup_dirxx If I run for an hour it will have thousands!!
To start all over again, how do I delete the recup_dirxx files ? - have tried but will not delete
When I rerun the Photorec how do I limit the folders in which it looks, not everything, as per above, but only say the subfolders where the deleted folder was. And/or run the selection to run to a small number of days ? So the result will only show a limited number of folders/files
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks
