I'm using Fedora 17.

I was backing up some files to a USB key. I was foolish and used the Move command instead of copy, and before the directory I was moving completed I accidentally yanked the usb key from the port.

The USB key is now empty, and the directory I moved is no longer on my hard drive.

Does anyone know if I can recover from this? Is there a temporary directory that houses moved files?

Thanks!

What is format of your USB and HDD partition ? You mentioned that, It's Fedora 17. So partition will be ext3/ext4.

You can use photorec for recover files. Check bellow link for step by step process.
