Hi Ralph & Terry
Will try our both suggestions as soon as I have time, don't want to rush
this and make more trouble!
Did look at Auth.log file and theirs some info, I'll recheck and copy
bits that might give a clue; it's was confusing to me but you would know
what to look for.
At the moment I'm using the desktop but that has not got all my emails
and is not up-to-date in the Address book, but it works.

Hi Clive,
Tried looking at /etc/passwd and found entry for me and it's the same
as your example except 'ralph' entries are 'clive'.

/home/clive still shows nothing in it even with show hidden files
ticked, all done from live disk.
Odd that it should exist at all if a user with home directory
/home/clive was deleted?
Would like to know what has happened even if I can't get data back.
Well, /var/log on the machine might show something around the time you
deleted user `Comment', e.g. auth.log having some entry to do with sudo
and deleting the user. Haven't got any other ideas.
Cheers, Ralph.
