I inadvertently deleted a directory containing several source code files. I want them back. I'm on a Linux Ubuntu machine. The filesystem is NTSF.
I tried using TestDisk, but there are millions of deleted files in this partition. TestDisk presents a curses interface which allows you to page through the deleted files. But I can't search for the file I want. I gave up after 15 minutes. Is there another tool that allows me to undelete files without having to page through millions of file names?
I also looked at ddrescue, but that requires you to save the enture partition. In my case that's 2 TB. I don't have another 2TB of free space.
