Recover data from sudo command

Please if you can modify immediately the command, an user can do your same error! DO NOT TYPE IT INTO YOUR SYSTEM!!!
Now, if you have stopped the command, probably your data are on your hd, try with a LiveCD of ubuntu to see if they are there. If not you should use a program to recovery the data but it's a looong process: you should remove the hd from your PC, insert it into another and run a program for recover the data and hope that it works (it's not secure that it will work).

Okay I will do that and return with an answer ASAP.

i found out that this command deletes everything on the kernal. I am just going to install another distro of linux and try it out.

It recursively deletes everything in the _file system_. Everything.

If you'd read the comments further down you would have seen the warnings, and you should never run anything without knowing what it does. You can find out what things do with the manual page.

man rm

for example takes you to the manual page for the remove command, where you can also see that the option -rf means to recursively delete all files and directories while never prompting you.

Chalk it up to experience, but I do hope you had backups of all important data.
