Are You Sure You Want To Delete?
I think I made a big mistake. I was
rushing to get my website hosted on my domain before the deadline for my Information Systems Class and I
accidently added my html folder straight to the general file upload directory
instead of the public html. When I realized my mistake, I just clicked delete.
And it sent me a message saying something along the lines of, “Are you sure you
want to delete instead of put into trash as it will be deleted forever.” I
thought it would just delete it from the BYU Domains site and not off my computer. While
trying to upload my website, I noticed I didn’t have some of my html files
anymore. I have all of my .css files but not my html files.
As a result of this mistake, I ended up
not going to sleep till 7:30 in the morning. I learned a very valuable lesson.
ALWAYS SAVE YOUR WORK! Furthermore, it is not a bad idea to consider backing up
all of your data. I know last night it would have been worth its weight in
gold.
I know in the future I will definitely be
more carefully when handing such important documents in the future. I would
also recommend to anyone to read carefully whenever a popup says, “Are you sure
you want to delete?” If you follow this counsel, I know one day in the future
you will thank me.
That project was the worst! I thought I had it bad when I deleted the public_html folder from BYU domains permanently. I ended up having to host my website on my cousins domain because I no longer had the correct files under my domain. I couldn't agree more to think twice before deciding if you want to delete something!
ReplyDeleteWowww, I feel for you man! That's definitely a lesson that I have had to learn time after time again. I can't think of a worse feeling for millennials than having all your work deleted; maybe the only thing on par is dropping your phone screen-first.
ReplyDeleteMan, that really sucks. Yes, always save everything. On her mission, my wife had all of her mission pictures deleted and so she remembers to make a back up important things.
