I made a very dumb mistake last night and potentially lost all the data on my pool. For whatever reason when I had set up my TrueNAS installation over a year ago, I decided to share all of my data in a folder on the pool (not part of a dataset). At some point over the last year, I had made a new dataset titled "Primary", which I didn't end up doing anything with. Last night, I wanted to rename this folder to "Primary" and realized that there was already a folder titled "Primary" on my pool. I didn't realize that this was an existing dataset, and deleted the folder and renamed my folder to "Primary". I ended up restarting for a hardware change, and the next thing I know I am missing all of my files in the "Primary" folder. The files are still taking up space on the pool, but all references to them have disappeared. I realize this is an EXTREMELY dumb mistake and oversight on my part, but is there any way I could recover these files off of my pool?
