I stopped the operation midway as I realized in my sleep deprived stupor what I was doing. What an idiot I am! I tried to use a shareware version of AppleXsoft File Recovery to see if I could recover the folder and contents, but I couldn't quite figure it out. The results of the scan didn't look like the files that I was looking for. Can you recommend the right software for that problem? What are the odds I can recover the folder contents?
