    How do I cleanup and start over if I’m working on a lab for a class and I’ve messed up the steps? I need to redo a bunch of commands that are now on the system. I guess I need help completely starting a reboot of root that won’t have all the steps of commands still there? I’m very new to all of this and am sure this sounds ridiculous as a question.

    Hi everyone,
    I’m new to Fedora Linux and I’m getting confused when working with subdirectories. I understand how to create directories using mkdir, but I get lost when I try to move a subdirectory out of a directory or move it somewhere else. Sometimes after I use mv, I can’t find the folder and I’m not sure where it went.
    For example, if I have a directory called samples and inside it another directory called undermysamples, what is the correct way to move undermysamples back to the parent directory? Also, is there a good way to check exactly where I am before moving folders so I don’t lose them?
    Thanks!
