Alas, I shall have to consider this whole exercise as a loss — but to take it as a lesson not to do any computer work after I have taken my medication.
Thanks for your time in trying to help me.
I suggest you back up the files somewhere in case you need to find something again.
If there is a certain string you need to find you can use grep to search for it.
Code:
grep -r "My Essay" /path/to/recoved/files
