Hello everyone,
So yesterday I accidentally damaged the system partition files of a 1TB HDD which stored mostly movies, pictures and videos.
I ran "sudo photorec" from testdisk and managed to recover tons of random stuff after 10 hours of inspecting all the sectors.
Here is my problem : the restored data is randomly thrown in 4538 folders called recup_dir.1-->recup_dir.4538 and each one contain 500-800 files with all my stuff but mostly mixed with random ******** (random txt files, thumbnails, java nonsense...etc).
I can try to sort and delete one by one but then i would finish in 8 years. I am sure there is a magic linux app or terminal command that can help me ?
thanks guys
