Hi

I created a softlink then didnt like it so I unlink this.
Then I accidentally unlink the orginal directory
Is there anyway I can undo what I did ? I try df -k and see that the directory space is 89% but there is no way I can see the files with ls

Thanks
 
im sorry to say but looks like you might have lost
it for good. Did you link using ln -s or ln?
What does ls -li on that directory and its parent directory shows? Pls provide us the output.
 
you have to find the directory or file where you link it..

and you then you have to recreate the link..

usually you can see which files are link when you type ls -al
