Vent: My 'simple' Python script deleted a whole folder of my photos because I messed up a path.

I was following a tutorial on file handling, typed './images' instead of './images_backup', and ran the cleanup function before I realized my mistake, so has anyone recovered files after a coding blunder like that?

Used to think backups were overkill, but a similar mistake changed my mind fast.

Got a backup before the tutorial?
