[QUOTE="scathe, post: 991435, member: 81672"] of course it cleaned your entire home directory and everything in it ... the "~" symbol means "home directory" and you recursively deleted everything ... nice one dude :) you would have to use the command "rm -R ./~" to delete the ~ directory in your home folder (I had to try this out for myself, not a good feeling hitting that return key lol) anyway, by deleting a home folder of a user, although you loose all your data, you should be able to create a new working account Network diagnostics won't really help you, you need to set up your network again for that specific account, e.g. if you have encryption [/QUOTE]
