Hi all. I'm hoping there's somebody with a bit of expert knowledge here that might have some good news for me.
Basically I backed up my Thunderbird profile folder onto another drive before reinstalling on boot drive. For some reson, and I still don't know why as I've done it properly so many times before, it was the wrong folder
I backed up the AppData\Local profile folder instead of AppData\Roaming. Therefore I've lost 17 years worth of emails from a dozen or so accounts which I'm desperate to get back, and I'm not having a lot of luck with software I tried to recover.
So, the original drive was a Samsung 750 250GB Evo SSD with the usual drive partition structue of main NTFS Primary, System Reserved etc.
I deleted everything in here in Disak Manager until all I had was the black Unallocated Space.
Then I created a whole size Primary and quick formatted ready to be used as a game drive on new install - nothing has been written to it
I've tried deep scans with the likes of Recuva and even tried booting from a USB PE but Acronis Disk Director's recovery tool would only allow me to select the tiny allocated space left on the drive.
Has anybody got any other suggestions I could try myself please? Couldn't afford to anyway but not keen on the idea of sending it off somewhere.
Thanks
