Hi,
I made a little mistake. When I download tarred files, I usually just
save them to the root directory, and when I untar them, they _always_
created a top level directory and then files and subdirs in there.
However, this time I untarred a file and it threw a whole bunch of stuff
in my / directory which is now a big mess. I really don't want to
manually go and delete all of them, is there any way to reverse what I
did?
They all have different creation dates, and are all owned by root.
Many tia,
Roman
