Was moving a movie file using mv but I typed the directory wrong. It turned my movie file into a Unix Executable File.

mv /path/to/folder/1/this.mov /path/to/folder2

/folder2 did not exist

Can I undo this action or return this file to a .mov?

I fear that this is not an undo thing. Any help or guidance will be a great thing.

Thank you

The file is now /path/to/folder2. Just rename it:

mv /path/to/folder2 /path/to/this.mov

to keep it in where it is currently.

To move it back to /path/to/folder/1/:

mv /path/to/folder2 /path/to/folder/1/this.mov
