Formatted wrong partition on accident

[Juggernautilus]

So I formatted wrong partition that I had all the important files on (pictures, documents). Is there any chance I can recover the files on my own? If yes, then how?

[Altecice]

Well dont do anything silly like try to write data over it again or else it will be lost for good. I suggest you find some free file recovery software such as Recuvia and give that a shot on the deleted partition.

Urgh, I doubt you can save it but yes, you can try racuvia and try to bring it to a local specialist if that fails.

Undelete360 may work as well if it's on a hard disk. I've used it in the past, before.

Formatting the drive doesn't securely erase the data so you may be able to recover your files

I forgot to mention that I deleted 2 out of 3 partitions and merged them together. Are they still recoverable?

[Juggernautilus]

OMG YES.

Most of the files were overwritten by windows but I got the most important documents out. I am so fucking happy right now!!

This seems to happen a lot lately. i've seen quite a few threads like this the last few days.
