I overestimated myself and played with my System Files

Hello everyone,

English is not my native tongue but i will do my best.

So recently I set up a macOS KVM on my System and to connect my Phone to the VM i had to delete gvfs2.photo file.

So I was at the end with my nerves and got lazy, so I disabled and masked my whole gvfsd-daemon using the commands:

systemctl --user stop gvfs-daemon
systemctl --user mask gvfs-daemon

Obviously this was a bad idea but it was the quickest solution. Now my OS is behaving abnormaly.
How do I find the Sys-Link for the masked gvfs-daemon to remove it?
Im running the latest Version of Fedora.

Edit:
Thanks for all the fast replies, everything is back to normal. I’m sorry I should have said that I already tried:

systemctl --user unmask gvfs-daemon
systemctl --user start gvfs-daemon

systemctl --user unmask gvfs-daemon
systemctl --user start gvfs-daemon

systemctl --user unmask gvfs-daemon
systemctl --user start gvfs-daemon

These 2 commands should reverse what you have done.

If you need to do it offline for whatever reason, the symlinks should be under ~/.config/systemd/user.
