Assess which partition on your computer you need to access to recover the files. | |
2 | |
Unmount the directory using the "unmount" command in the interface. This will help prevent damaging the file you are trying to recover. | |
3 | |
Type "debugfs" in the command line interface (all typing without quotation marks) and include the file system where the overwritten file is into the command. For example, typing "debugfs usr/personal" will bring up your personal directory. Hit "Enter" after typing the command. | |
4 | |
Use the "lsdel" command by typing "lsdel" in the command line interface and hitting "Enter" while the system is being debugged. This will bring up a list of overwritten and deleted files in the file system. | |
5 | |
Recover the overwritten files by typing the command "dump filename" in the command line interface and hitting "Enter." | |
6 | |
Type in the "inode" number associated with the files you want to retrieve, which is located in the first column that is displayed in by the "Isdel" command. |
