The big mistake
export LC_ALL=POSIX
rm -v /mnt/USB-b/REP4/*
removed '/mnt/USB-
removed '/mnt/USB-
removed '/mnt/USB-
removed '/mnt/USB-

the start of the repair
sudo umount -v /dev/sdb2
umount: /mnt/USB-b (/dev/sdb2) unmounted
repair that doesn't work
sudo extundelete /dev/sdb2 --restore-all

This context is a reproduction of errors that have occurred in the French forum and that have not been resolved. I think I did not make a mistake in use.
Thank you for your opinion
