I'm puzzled why you would think a Linux mount point is the same
as a shortcut in Windows. Linux is not Windows, just as MacOS
is not Windows. I you want other OSes to behave like Windows,
I suggest it would be more logical to stay with Windows.

Doing random stuff in the Windows console can easily get you into
trouble too.

I hope you also learned the value in having backups? Because
that's the real lesson of this story.
