Linux Terminal Commands?

Question

I'm learning terminal commands and I encountered a problem. I had a folder on my desktop that I successfully moved into my "Documents" folder via:

~/desktop$ mv "Folder" /home/"user"/Documents

so then I tried to move it back to the desktop from the Documents folder via:

~/Documents$ mv "Folder" /home/"user"/desktop

BUT!!!!!...i forgot to use a capitol "D" in Desktop in the last command...and the folder disappeared without it being moved to my desktop. How can I get that folder back, undo that command, or find the folder? Thanks

Hi,

This is the way it worked;

Your folder called "Folder" is now called "desktop"

so

to get it back

go to

/home/"user"

with the command

cd /home/"user"

then give the command

mv desktop /home/"user"/Desktop/Folder

and you are done!!
