Home dir gone!?
Ok, i just checked my home directory,...and it's gone....is there anyway I can recover it!?

The obvious reply is not a good news.
You can't. |
I think we'll need just a bit more detail.....
What were you doing before is disappeared? Is the system running? What happens if you re-boot? In principle, things can be recovered using something like testdisk or photorec. If you had any really valuable data, the don't do anything that would cause a write to the disk (including rebooting) |

I think I deleted it as root...

It's just that's harder to explain how to use this kind of software, than giving the official linux reply. And you have no 100% success. As you know, for example for ext4 the official reply is, you can't. I made a short reply, sorry :) |
ok, how can i download and run one of these tools? I have no idea what I am doing...

Otherwise: http://www.cgsecurity.org/ The other good option, if there is no valuable data, is to simply re-install. |
OK, but how do i download and run it via command line?

testdisk is available using my package manager (in Arch). it might be for your distro also. |
