I can't open nautilus after executing rm -rf ~/.ddd/

I tried to install ddd from my schools site and it gave me this command to remove installed version of ddd:



rm -rf ~/.ddd/


It wouldn't execute so i tried with sudo and it worked, but after that i couldn't open nautilus. When i tried to start it from the terminal it displayed this:



Unable to create a required folder. Please create the following folder, or set permissions such that it can be created: /home/sensej/.config/nautilus


Output of ls -ld ~/.config is:



ls: cannot access '~/.config':No such file or directory


Output of sudo ls -ld ~/.config :



ls: cannot access '/home/sensej/.config': No such file or directory

You ran a completely wrong command



rm -rf ~/ .ddd/


It removed your home directory ~/.



The correct command was



rm -r ~/.ddd/


You added a space there. You seem to be a bit careless with adding spaces.



Since your home directory is gone, I suggest re-installing the system.



Beware that you lost all your files. Be careful in the future.
