From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a data recovery tool for Linux to recover a Minecraft world? (sopuli.xyz)

So I uninstalled Zenless Zone Zero yesterday via Wine, and it seems it just deleted every game, KDE configs, etc.

These weren't really an issue for me, but my old worlds have gone to waste too. Unfortunately, my drive is on ext4, and I haven't used Timeshift cause low storage space. Is there any chance for me to recover back some data?

@PrivateNoob

testdisk and photorec.

I did a similar boneheaded move by rm -rfing my Minecraft server directory.

Depending on how much free space is on the drive and how much data as been over written will depend on how much of the world files you recover. High probability it's gone.

The thing that saved my server world files was I had Dynmap plugin installed. Dynmap is a world mapping plugin that creates hundreds of thousands of png/jpg files. This caused a delay in the rm command and that made me realize what was happening and stop the process. The damage was already done though.

Oh roger that I'm gonna try out these then. Well if I'm right, then I might have saved a version of my world on a cloud storage, but I have never needed to do data recovery on Linux yet.
