   I was not very smart and did a nvme backup on a nvme I did not mount before. I'm not sure where the files now are. Linux being like "you told me to write everything to this /mnt/ folder, what do I care that it's half a terabyte?"

     @kaia They should still be in /mnt on the drive where the /mnt directory is by default when nothing is mounted to it (probably your root filesystem).

     @phnt I removed the folder to remove it from the root drive :bugcat_nod:

     @kaia testdisk to the rescue? And do not trim your filesystems ;)

     @tk I had enough space on the root filesystem, so I could delete the "backup" I made to root

     @kaia Let me guess, you used GNU cp to make the backup?

     @kaia If you put files into /mnt before mounting anything there, then mounted something there, it will hide the files that were there. Once you unmount, they will appear in /mnt again.
     
     Assuming I understood the situation correctly.
