--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Eek.

Now, for future reference, this isn't right right way to achieve what you're
trying to do; files like those should be put in /usr/local/, not /usr/
directly. In addition, only your system's package manager and developers should
ever be touching /usr/ due to risks of catastrophic breakage like what you
experienced. I'd strongly suggest looking for a distro package providing this
software, rather than downloading it from a tarball and manually copying files
into place.

As such, what you're doing is unwise, but there *definitely* shouldn't be data
loss here if you opt to do it anyway, *especially* as a result of undoing an
operation!
