    I can find the $Recycle.Bin Folder which have S-1-5 sub-folder inside. Do you know how to recover the data inside? Thank you very much.

      You need to use a specialized third-party app for this task, like Recuva or an alternative to it.

    I followed the tutorial which I don’t think said to uncheck the “Hide protected……system files.” as I went through it. When it asked at the end whether I checked them both, I went back and saw the protected option in the View tab, but left it the way it was, i.e., checked.
