10,124 PointsI lost the hello.txt file how would I find it?
Was learning about the mv command in terminal and some how I have lost the txt file hello.txt. I think I had renamed it hi.txt but now I cant find that either.
have relaunched the console in hope that would reset the terminal but no luck
Any help would be appreciated trying to follow along but can't as my files are all messed up.
Thanks

find ~ -type f -name "*.txt"
