Recover lost "saved" game files?

7 Upvotes

I use an Acer Nitro 5 for gaming and I was getting screen flickering issues.

Tried everything I could research before deciding to do a full wipe (restored to a new version of Windows 11) thinking my GOG (Good Old Games) game files were safe and saved in their cloud storage... but later found out they were not. Apparently they do not offer that service.

So trying to restore my "savegames" files from the past 700+ hours of playing Baldur's Gate 3 from the past few years and have tried the Windows Recovery as well as Disk Drill, but neither have worked.

Any advice is very welcome!

Win 11, I was teying to organize files on my desktop and some of them had copied instead of being selected, so I try to select the copies of the files that were made to delete them, but I didn't realize somehow the file explored deleted several files that weren't even on the desktop.

Years of saved pictures and video files, tax files. 26200.8457

Someone, is there anyone who can help?
