How to restore /root

Stupid me: aparently I deleted the files in a directory that supposedly is /root. What I did is rm -rf ~

When I now use terminal with root access (devel-su) or otherwise I do not see the directory Information any more. Therefore, in terminal I have to navigate "blindly". Previously, in the "devel-su" mode, I saw something like "Jolla" at the beginning of every line in the terminal

That is the apparent defect. Are there any more I am not (yet) aware of?

What can I do to return to the original behaviour (without a full recovery)?

Thanks for any hint! (And don't blame me - I already feel bad for my stupidity - It all started with a strange 0B directory visible in Filetug in the root directory which I beleived I have created accidentally)

EDIT: Maybe somebody can tell me what files normaly are found in /root
