I accidentally deleted my complete "Downloads" folder from Windows Disk Cleanup. I had important things for school in this folder and wanted to ask if I could somehow restore these files? I have already tried data recovery programs from the Internet, unfortunately restoring them costs everyone.
I also reset the laptop to a restore point, unfortunately it doesn't restore the old files.
With the recovery point at the latest, you have probably blocked all options (which were previously very small).
You can try Recuva alone. If that doesn't find anything either, the data is gone and can probably only be restored professionally.
Note: important data must be saved. Data that is not backed up therefore does not need to be restored.
I used Recuva and the data is found too, but does it cost to restore?
I don't want to have to complete a package
Then my answer still applies.
Aren't you doing backups?
Then you learn the hard way now why you do it.
Maybe you have a chance to recover some of the data with programs like Recuva. There's no guarantee for this.
Now you are gradually realizing the value of backups.
You have to decide what your data is worth to you. We can't not do magic.
