Dumb thing I did in the teminal:

~/workspace$ rm -rf workspace no such file or directory ~/workspace$ rm -rf cd ~

half typed the command again thinking i mistyped the name then realised im in that folder and instictively typed the command to get to home

@mian
I usually instinctively do a ctrl+c whenever I realize I'm typing the wrong command

@alyx I did to. it still managed to delete some files used b programs. I had a backup though. Still dont dackup often enough.
