See deleted files and folders

[di3510]

Hello,

I deleted (by error) all folders in the download folder of my windows 10 with the Disk Cleanup function (Right Click on HDD C - Properties - Disk Cleanup - Download was checked).
Is there a tool which allows me to see the deleted folders and the content. No need for recovery but I want to know the names of the files, which where in there.
I've tried EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard and Active File Recovery but no luck so far. Seems to be lost forever.
Thank you

It's possible, but not guaranteed, that setting your machine back to the day before the deletion MIGHT resurrect them.

Thank you but did not help.
Is there any tool could make the folder structure visible?

The deleted files are likely fragmented over the entire drive.
Short of getting a sophisticated program I think you are SOL.......

I found a simple and free program that'll list deleted files/folders (and in some cases let you un-delete), both on hard-drive & USB drives, SD-cards, etc ... worked fairly nicely for some things & a handy little utility to have around... don't remember what its called, its on my old laptop. If you still need, I can look up what it was called.
