Ouch. Next time be really careful when picking up that loaded gun without safety called rm -r. Avoid deleting sub-directories with it, use tab-completion to avoid misspelling, use find and/or ls -la first to see what you are about to delete. So in your case that should have been:

Code:
cd /mnt/us
pwd
ls -la
ls -la records
find records
rm -r records
Yade, yade. You think that is paranoid? Not really, look what happened to you.
