A folder just dissapeared when I tried moving it.

[Jekktis]

So my sister put a folder on my desktop containing important college information. I tried moving it from the desktop to my Documents folder (because I'm very picky about what icons I have on my desktop)
Anyway, I can't find it now, and my sister is gonna be pissed. There should by a folder with her name on it in my Documents, but there isn't, and it's not on my Desktop anymore either. I tried searching to, and I just can't find anything. Is there a way of doing a search for folders instead of files?
Any idea's where it could've gotten to?

How did you move them? With the mv command in a terminal? Or through mouse clicks in the GUI?
If through the terminal, you can use your 'u' arrow key in the terminal to see where you may have sent the folder, and possibly retrieve it.
Otherwise, you'll have to locate it other ways:

man find

man locate
