Removing those files was the wrong thing to do. Your system is probably still 
continuing to write to those now deleted files. This is okay because a file 
isn't actually deleted from the disk until it's been closed by all applications 
using it, but it means that you can no longer access it.

This problem may self-correct because many distributions these days open new 
versions of these files each week or so. I think, though, that the best thing 
to do to make sure your system is back to normal is to reboot it.

>Can i make debug-file of brltty?

I was actually wanting to know what your system log is reporting, but, yes, you 
could also send us a log from brltty itself. To do this, please add two options 
when rtunning brltty. The first is -ldebug and the second is -L/path/to/logfile 
(the -L here is uppercase).
