I think a very important question is what filesystem were you running
and what version, and where, specifically, were the "very important
folders" that got deleted? Were these folders on the Windows drive and
was it mounted at the time? Were they in your linux home directory?
Did they contain the secret for creating a vehicle that runs on
something other than gas?

Hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I agree it seems unlikely that winetricks could do such a thing, its just that whatever happened did so immediately after running the script. I don't remember removing anything from the trash.
I am running Fedora 7 with Gnome version 2.18.3 (soon to be upgraded to Fedora 9).
One thing I wondered (in my general ignorance of such matters) is whether the problem was caused by a link I had set up in my home directory called "c_drive" which is actually a link to where I mount a windows hard drive when I need access to it from linux. I notice looking through the code in winetricks reference to a similarly named link - is there any possibility that this confused the script into deleting parts of my home directory when it was cleaning up after itself?
