So I uninstalled Zenless Zone Zero yesterday via Wine, and it seems it just deleted every game, KDE configs, etc.
These weren’t really an issue for me, but my old worlds have gone to waste too. Unfortunately, my drive is on ext4, and I haven’t used Timeshift cause low storage space. Is there any chance for me to recover back some data?
The AUR wiki never fails to amaze.
You know Minecraft works natively on Linux? Except if you run the more optimized, faster “Bedrock” version, which for very important Microsoft reasons is Windows-only. Or Android, so people play the android version, lol.
For recovery you can use testdisk. Shutdown the PC as fast as possible. Dont open programs! Dont play games!
On SSDs the data will quickly be overwritten otherwise.
Make a Clonezilla live usb and use that for recovery
Well I actually use native Minecraft too, if the Prism Launcher actually creates native instances by default. Luckily I have realised that there is probably a saved version of my world on a cloud storage, but I will def try testdisk out! Thank you.
I hope your PC is off. Dont use it. Otherwise that data is gone.
Bedrock also runs under Linux. At least, it did 6 months ago, when I tried…
Interesting didnt know that.
Wait, or is this the mobile version which runs through an Android container? Emulator?
Yes
So not native on Linux. Is the Android version even usable?
I managed to connect to a local server and play a while. I gave up quickly because lack of languages, already present in Java version.
No fun without pirate speak!
How is it today? I find it crazy that not even the most rewarding game of the world couldnt be fully rewritten in a faster language.
It semi does, iirc it’s a port of the Android version, which probably works because android uses a Linux kernel
hold on,
did it only delete the programms gone too?open your home folder and set the option to show hidden files.
if there is a .minecraft folder check the saves folder inside that.yesterday
Have you shut down the disk immediately then?
Yeah unfortunately, but atleast I have found my minecraft world on a cloud storage, so day have been saved sorta. I just only need to reinstall some games, and configs.
is it not in the trashbin?
i have used photorec to resore deleted files on several occasions.
but i dont think there is a filetype for minecraft worlds availableWell it definitely isn’t in the trashbin, and nowhere in the filesystem since I’ve done a find cmd search on all the directories, and also checked the .minecraft folder’s saves, but thank you for the idea tho!
Removed by mod
Ohh thank you for the recommendation!

Hmm this sounds like a great idea, although I was already planning to get a new nvme SSD, but good to know options like these exists.
If it’s not a cheap knock off USB stick, then yea it’s probably more than enough.
Make sure you get the flash drive from a reputable seller. Sites like amazon have lots of fakes that are actually a much lower capacity than they report.
Another option is a SSD and external enclosure.
