Accidentally deleted everything from a directory on my Macbook using terminal I accidentally did a rm -rf * on a wrong directory on my macbook terminal. It appears that the rm command operates just like on a Linux system, where it's irreversible. 

But I did back up my Mac to my external HDD so I can restore it using Time Machine, but I wanted to see if anyone knows of another, preferably quicker way to get all of my files back in the directory I used the above command in?
Restoring from backup is the way to go here, there is no magic „undo rm -rf“ command.
