But if you have done permanent deletion like the above user, then you need to use professional Windows data recovery software to solve this problem.
Please do not write new data to the lost device before starting to fix the problem, because after the file is lost, Windows marks the file as "deleted", but it is not actually deleted from the hard disk, and the file is waiting to be deleted.
