How to efficiently restore Library folder partially deleted on OS X
- by flow
I am using OS X Lion, and trying to delete some files I did accidentally (from home directoy):
rm -fr Library
I realized about this some 15 seconds later and did
killall rm
Some folders have been deleted, of course, inside "Library". Now the system seems to be ok, but I fear what will happen in case of reboot.
I have a Time Machine backup from 5 days ago. I wonder if it would be a good solution, just to copy whole "Library" folder from my home directory from backup and replace this one.
Or, what do you think would be the best approach?
PS: In order to restore just deleted directories inside "Library", in which order does "rm" start to delete directories, alphabetically?
