Extracting valuable information from the latest operating system version
Extracting valuable information from the latest operating system version
Back then, while organizing my space, I packed numerous items into boxes—some of them being containers themselves! On my laptop, I saved a text file listing the contents of each box. After updating the operating system, I replaced my previous setup (likely Nobara) with Mint. I’m wondering if it’s possible to retrieve that text file. It was sometime around summer 2023, and I currently have a 1TB M.2 SSD. From what I understand, the data might remain intact since the new OS was installed, possibly at the hardware level. I don’t store much data on my laptop, so it might still be useful for your new build. I’m open to downloading any free software or using the terminal if that helps. I haven’t bothered enough to physically remove the SSD and try recovery, but I have a link to it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09QV692XY/r...81_TE_item. Thanks for the suggestion, even if it’s not in the right forum!
When you added another operating system on top, removing the file becomes nearly unfeasible. Most SSDs automatically compress data and delete unused parts of the drive. You might have a chance with Linux utilities such as photorec, but success is unlikely.
