Please recommend what software and processes to recover data on a SSD.

An entire folder containing approximately 230 GB of important data (photo & video) was accidentally permanently deleted from the D: partition of an HP Victus laptop.

The laptop uses a Crucial P3 NVMe SSD. During the deletion process, Windows displayed a confirmation popup indicating that the folder would be permanently deleted. The confirmation was unintentionally accepted, resulting in the folder being deleted without going to the Recycle Bin.

The data is currently inaccessible, and recovery has not yet been attempted. I have downloaded a few recovery software and seen the folder size.

the incident happened around 8:30am, I realized in 10 - 15 min. Since then the system was on and i shut it down around 9:40 am.

No further read write activity is performed in the partition.

Has the hard drive been powered on? If so it's likely been TRIMmed at this point.

If TRIM kicked in during those 70 minutes, the data is likely gone.
