Possible error deleting folder

  • Due to a misconfigured backup I ended up with a folder in the root directory that filled the disk - called Admin. Deleted it, all OK.


    Same happened - this time I accidentally deleted an Admin folder under /root by mistake - it freed up 17 GB so probably not a system folder?


    System is still working - Is there a legit folder under Admin that I have deleted or am I OK?


    System working but I'm afraid to reboot.

    There should by default not be a folder /admin. Nor /root/admin.


    However, the error(?) that caused that folder to appear may also have caused other problems. It is impossible to guarantee anything.


    If your data is not correctly backed up you WILL loose data. Sooner or later.

    Be smart - be lazy. Clone your rootfs.

  • Thanks for the input - the problem arose when I was leaving for work and I didn't have time to investigate. Panic situation in the middle of changing over from RAID 5 to SnapRaid :)


    Having since investigated and with your reassurance I am confident it was user error.
