Evening all.

Wondering if anyone can help.

A few nights ago I deleted a user profile from my pc thinking it had nothing important on. I chose not to save files. Turns out it did actually have a load of important documents in a folder on the desktop.

I've tried easus and recuva to recover the files but I don't really know what I'm doing and not having much luck.

I've been scanning the users folder with the deleted profiles name (the folder still exists but with just a random Microsoft folder in app data) and have found a few files but they are all coming back corrupted.

Does this mean I am out of luck? Is there another location I should be scanning or any settings I need to change? Is there better software? Can professional recovery have better results?

As the files were on my main c drive which has been in use I guess they may have been overwritren?

It's an ssd if that makes any difference.

Many thanks
 
I can see the downloads folder and everything in there (corrupted) and some other folders but why cant I see the desktop folders? Should show up under user/username/ no?

I will save them if I can get them and try some repair programs but everything I need was in a folder on the desktop that I cant find.


Turns out its mostly some excel sheets that are important and a few word docs.
