1"Someone on this site" - is that part of a question or answer? If so can you link to it please so it can be checked for accuracyChris Davies– Chris Davies2024-10-08 13:27:59 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2024 at 13:27

4"I'm new to Linux and did something stupid. I'm using Kali" - Please DO NOT use Kali if you are new to Linux. Use a more friendly distribution while you get used to the environment, and then considering maybe possibly perhaps moving to Kali if you have a security/pentest role. Certainly, don't use Kali as your daily driverChris Davies– Chris Davies2024-10-08 13:36:03 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2024 at 13:36

What data do you need to recover? You could boot a live Linux system, e.g from an Ubuntu installation media, mount your harddisk and backup the important data. You could also rename the directory to the original name from this live system. Please edit your question to add information.Bodo– Bodo2024-10-08 14:45:34 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2024 at 14:45

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
