[edit]

Do you think maybe we should add a section about how dangerous this command is? Running this would basically destroy the directory structure, even if nothing is wrong with the disk. There have been several 3rd party utilities just to recover (pun intended) from accidental running of this command. NiQ (talk) 06:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

We have this on the article: "The range of circumstances in which recover was genuinely useful was quite limited, and well-meaning DOS users sometimes created havoc by running recover under the misconception that it was a file undelete utility." I don't think it's much of a threat now (very few people are still running bare DOS). By the way, whatever you were trying to do with the templates, don't do it in that way...
