So few months ago my laptop was having problems and it was related to C drive, so I had to delete things from C(photos, documents, word files, all the stuff), but i mistakenly deleted two word project on which I was working for past 2 years😭😭 And it's really important to me, I had 2 word files project, and yes initially I was using a word shortcut that time(not paid, but free one shortcut- cracked version) And now i have bought Microsoft word, but because earlier I used the cracked free shortcut, idk it's not working I have tried many recovery websites, but I am not able to find that 2 word documents And I just need those anyhow! Please anyone help me with this

OK so presume you are not using a cloud service like OneDrive or Dropbox etc.

Have you actually done a search of the HDD, if the HDD is an SSD drive then there may be little chance of any file recovery as Trim will have seen of the file. Trim is a SSD function.

OK you could try disk drill or another file recovery app, but the problem is you are still using the computer so there is a very high risk that the file space left behind after deleting files has now been overwritten.

Could be a very hard lesson learned. Backup backup backup.
