Sounds like it was done as root.
Install your favourite root access package (rootsh, sudser etc)
run:
sudo gainroot
rm -rf /home/user/.pub

You are in the root home dir.
Try rm -rf /root/.pub
Try rm -rf /root/.pub

Well didn't I make it look like I know nothing about Linux and its filesystem, I have been trying in the correct way before "rm -rf /root/.pub" will no luck, what I did find is when I typed "rm -rf /root/." then pressed TAB twice the files listed did not list .pub in there.
I have found the solution though.
rm /root/*.pub
Seems there was a space in there some where for some reason, I have tested by creating a dir with a space infront of it an found that the N800 diablo does not show a \ a for the dir name like most current Linux OS's do.
They really should change this I think, then again this is just person prefence for me.
qwerty12: Thanks none the less for your help

Yeah, those quotes were indicating doubt over how much a friend he actually was, not whether it was you yourself; while I have been on the receiving end of that lie a couple times, it's not been often enough for me to even think of it, much less assume it was true.
And I can't see how it could have been accidental, though I'm also not sure why he'd do it intentionally.
