SOLVED ! Need help recovering files, if possible

Hi there!

When trying to move files from  a /home dir to a data storage partition (Storage)  I   committed the following typo:
[code ]mv /home/arthur/DOKUMENT/move/* /run/media/arthur/Storage/
[/code]

when I (obviously) meant

Code: [Select]
mv /home/arthur/DOKUMENT/move/* /run/media/arthur/Storage

Any hope I may retrieve anything ???

I don't really see a typo here. Did you mean closing slash? It shouldn't matter in this case I guess.

Got them !

Permissions were somehow affected, so when I restored previous permissions files became visible again. Before I did it, Thunar informed there were 0 (zero) files in the Storage partition.

This is solved !

Yes!  
I had experienced this before, and Thunar  did state there  were zero files in the Storage partition immediately after I ran that command
