Some time ago I accidentally deleted some important data from a USB stick. Yesterday I tried to restore it first with recuva and then disk drill. With recuva I was able to restore a part and then I wanted to try to restore the rest with disk drill. After the scan, I selected the files and clicked on recover. 10 minutes later I got the error "the device is offline or no longer connected". It was already late so I didn't worry about it and shut down the computer. Today I wanted to try again, but the USB stick is no longer displayed.
I tried USB ports, connected the USB stick to another laptop and opened Disk Management, the stick is not displayed.
Are there any possibilities that the stick will be displayed again or that I can get the data? I had stored over 200Gb of photos, videos, business data, etc. And I really need them very often…
You will now learn the hard way why you make backups and why USB sticks are great for data transport, but you should not trust them (alone!) With important data.

From your side? No.
But you could pick up a good pile of money and hire a data recovery company. No one can guarantee how far they can save something.
