help regarding home directory

iam working on fedora 5 i had a folder on my root desktop and had to transfer it to the home desktop
i had used the command

mv -t foldername /root/desktop/ /home/abc/desktop/

the command worked
but now iam not able to access the home directroy
it says no such file or directory
i think so the mv command has over writed my home directory
so now how can i acceess my root directory

I think you moved root's desktop and abc's desktop folder to foldername directory. The mv -t option says "move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY". What is the output of this (looking for what's listed in foldername):

Code:

$ ls -l /path/to/foldername

(NOTE: -l is lowercase L not number 1)

and this (were looking for root and home directories):

Code:

$ ls -l /

(NOTE: -l is lowercase L not number 1)
