Hello, your question is clear. The folder layout you’re seeing after reinstalling the drive appears unchanged because the old data hasn’t been fully erased. There’s no built-in way to instantly reset the system to its previous state without using specific tools. You might try using recovery utilities or a disk imaging tool to restore from a clean backup, or check if your operating system supports a restore point. Unfortunately, I can’t provide direct guidance via search results at the moment.

It seems the fresh PC wasn’t powered off correctly, and maybe "fast startup" was turned on, preventing the data from being saved before it was taken out again.

Interesting. Perhaps it's beyond repair—CHKDISK displays 78,000 files totaling 460GB, whereas the explorer lists only 5,000 files and 2.2GB. This suggests the data might be stored on the drive itself. I’m not sure, it seems quite odd.

I'm frustrated. I just want to format the drive. It's unclear what happened—maybe it shut down properly, but the fast startup in CMD revealed hidden folders with random files. Those files seem corrupted.
