Finding deleted files - Documents folder

Hi.

So I was making space on my harddrive yesterday.

In doing so I found there was 30gb of stuff on my harddrive that I think was linked to an old work OneDrive account (that I couldn't delete, even when I de selected 'read only').

So in trying to clean up the drive, I appear to have deleted my Documents folder (the coloured icon one).

I only need a couple a files from here, but there are not anywhere to be found.

I've tried some software (Disk Drill) but all that comes up are random files with random extensions

Anyone got any tips??

    Hi Alex,

    You may use DMDE tool and its signature scan feature. It will look for files' bodies.
