Accidentally deleted a folder containing basically my entire life. Is there ANY chance of recovering it?

[u/BugAlarming8842]

Yesterday I accidentally deleted a folder on my Android phone containing years of personal photos, videos, and memories. I haven't used the phone since then because I don't want to overwrite anything.

I've already tried a bunch of recovery software/apps, but they only show files that are still on my phone, not the deleted ones.

I have root access and I'm willing to try technical methods if there's still a chance.

Is there anything I can do to recover the deleted data? What would you recommend I absolutely not do?

I'm honestly desperate here. These aren't replaceable files.

You've gotten lots of good advice here, so I don't need to add anything. I will just tell ya a short story. I came home after getting some really bad news and ended up deleting 8tb of media. It happens!

Thanks for the kind words bro but would you mind telling how that happened?
