This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Recover them from the trash folder.
Maybe also use a password in the future
How do you put a password on a folder?
Encrypted zip
Doesn't prevent deletion though
Need ACL for that
Put it on a second user account. Personally I have all my stuff like documents and pictures on a removable usb drive that I unplug when I'm not using my pc.
Just a friendly reminder: thumb drives kinda' suck as reliable storage. Especially ones that get carried around a lot. I've had soo many thumbdrives, from many different brands, of many different supposed qualities, all stop working mysteriously some day. Some not even more than a few months old.
All that is to say... make sure they're backed up somewhere else that's not also a thumb drive!
Yeah thanks its a good reminder. I make sure to follow the rule of 3 for anything important, primary source, local backup, remote backup.
