Development Tools Console Foundations Getting Started with the Console Moving and Deleting Files

Working in Console Foundations

I deleted my txt files in the directories and now I can't get them back. As I am continuing on in the lesson they are working with the files and I cannot follow the steps. Does anyone know how to reset the online console?

Hey there I don't know if they have a way to reset the console, I just went back to that module and when it opened, it opened in the same state that I had left it.

I think the video doesn't go into much more than moving files around so you could always just make a couple of empty text files by moving into your documents folder

cd documents

or ma*king the **dir*ectory if it is also deleted;

mkdir documents

and then moving into documents and creating the text files by typing

touch hello.txt
touch hi.txt

etc

Then you should be able to follow along with the rest of the video. (I think).

thank you that helped
