I lost files and now there are a ton of .mjs files

[sofasurfer]

I suddenly have no access to a ton of graphics files and instead there are tons of files that are .mjs files. Any idea what I did that could have caused this?

Do you have Timeshift set up ?

Restore to a time before this happened.

Have you been doing things with JavaScript?

Since I don't know what distro you're on, I'll merely recommend installing TestDisk if the files are truely MIA. You'll be able to recover using photorec

I suppose it's too late to say...Backup...Backup...Backup.

There's no excuse these days with Timeshift...Foxclone and Redorescue.

Timeshift is a must. It will return SYSTEM files to a date prior to the date things went wrong

I prefer Rescuezilla for a complete backup of everything. It has been tried and tested on my PC, and has come through with flying colours.
