[Q] Pulled /data/data from phone, how to reverse? - HTC EVO 3D

ok so i was trying to remove an app that was stuck in a FC loop through adb.
in trying to remove the app, it would not let me remove the directory for it under /data/data. so i tried to adb pull and accidentally typed adb pull /data/data <app name> (with a space lol) so now i have that folder on my computer containing all contents of /data/data.
How do i push it all back? adb push <folder name> would simply put the folder there, but everything would remain in it i assume. really dont want to have to push each one individually as i only have 1 hand available atm due to surgery lol.

And I thought driving and texting was bad! You can play with your phone while performing surgery? Now that's talent.
Wish I could help u but I don't know about pushing it back. I'll bump the thread though. g/l

Put a star at the end
Adb push /data/data/*
If that fails wipe data and restore data only in recovery.

I think the asterisk means the whole directory.
It was bugging me so I looked it up, this is for dos but it might mean the same.
[ * ] (Asterisk) (ASS-ter-isk) (Erroneously referred to as "Star".) DOS uses this as a wild card to represent one or more characters. So "*.txt" would mean all files with an extension of "txt". "READ-ME.*" means all `Read-Me' files with any extension. They typically would be "READ-ME.txt" or "READ-ME.doc".
"A*.txt" means all files with an extension of "txt" that begin with the letter `A'. Some versions of DOS allow an Asterisk at the start, as well: "*-ME.doc" means all files with an extension of "doc" that have "-ME" at the end of the file name.
Some DOS versions use this sign coupled with a percent sign (%*) to represent all parameters on the command line in a batch file.
Another example: DEL A:*.BAK
will delete all files that have the extension .BAK in the current directory of Drive A. The asterisk (*) is a wildcard symbol that means "any string of characters."

adb pull doesnt erase from phone, it just copy and pastes to computer.
if you want to delete said app from phone you would need to type
adb shell
rm data/data/{choosen app}
exit
adb reboot

That was my assumption but when I tried to cd to /data/data, the directory no longer existed.

Is it possible to cd to this directory??? I thought it would be the adb shell LS command.
