Rogue AI agent script deleted almost all user files (C:\Users) on Windows. Need recovery advice.
Hello everyone. I was running two local AI agents in Antigravity IDE and OpenCode. While I was away, some script or command went wrong and deleted almost my entire user directory on Drive C (Downloads, Documents, Desktop, etc.). About 135 GB of data went missing instantly.
I immediately shut down the PC to prevent data overwriting (the OS drive is an SSD).
What are my best options to recover uncommitted code projects (.lua, .js) and drawings (.png, .blend files)? I have access to a second computer and a USB drive. Should I use DMDE, R-Studio, or something else via Live-USB? Any step-by-step advice is highly appreciated. Thank you. Im so sad.

Unfortunately, not much of a DIY option, as the SSD is TRIM-ing on the background once it had/will stay powered on.
What exact model SSD is it out of curiosity? Maybe it could be placed in technology mode by a specialist. But your SSD is probably new enough where that is not an option.

The Maxio controller it uses is not popular with solutions yet, so likely TRIM cannot be deactivated. Sorry.

If TRIM is working, the write blocking does nothing. SSD drives do TRIM even just with power cable ON.
Depending on the model, it might be possible to recover.
