a way to tell what was removed after rm -rf ?
Hello all!
I ran rm -rf on a wrong directory, noticed it and hit ctrl-c.
Is there any way on a debian machine to tell what actually got deleted?
As there were many dirs and files in this directory that I don't care for, I'd like to see if anything important was removed.
Or do you know in what order rm removes stuff (e.g. does it remove files from the dir that is first in alphabet)?
Thanks for your consideration!

Hi,
I have a text file with 2000 rows and 2000 columns (number of columns might vary from row to row) and "comma" is the delimiter.
In every row, there maybe few duplicates and we need to remove those duplicates and "shift left" the consequent values.

dh_clean
DH_CLEAN(1) Debhelper DH_CLEAN(1)
NAME
dh_clean - clean up package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_clean [debhelperoptions] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and
removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files
that should not appear in a Debian diff:
#*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.
dh_clean (or "dh clean") should be the last debhelper command run in the clean target in debian/rules.
FILES
debian/clean
Can list other files to be removed.
OPTIONS
-k, --keep
This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.
-d, --dirs-only
Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at all.
-Xitem --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this
option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
file ...
Delete these files too.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
