Usually not worth the effort, restore from backup instead ;)

I'm always right. This time I'm just even more right than usual.

The easy way is to 'restore from backup'.
Oh, you -don't- have a backup?
Then the answer is an authoritative "maybe". *IF* you get to the
machine soon enough, and stop _everything_ else running on the machine,
_and_ have the tools to rummage through the 'free block' list, and
rebuild the file structure manually.
It *is* doable, at least on a not-very-active system with -small- disks.
I _have_ done it. It's *not* pretty, nor quick, nor easy. The stuff
has to be *really* important to justify the time/effort required.

What's a 'folder'?

Folder looks like directory, just a bit more yellow.
