[QUOTE="FrayAdjacent, post: 628404, member: 52404"] Your files should be recoverable, but you did it wrong in the first place. Robert is correct, you should create a new account for yourself. Once you're sure your files are where you want them, delete your friend's account, and it should delete her stuff and her settings. I think what happened is that you renamed her home folder, but her account was still pointed at it. The system saw the folder was changed, so it changed it back, since it still belongs to her account. [/QUOTE]
