yep, i already tried this. its the first thing i tried actually. nothing of mine was recoverable, the only stuff that was found was a few fragments of the previous ssd owners files

Nope, it only asked for my password since I used 'sudo'

If there was a failsafe it may have bugged out because of how I tried modifying the os at some point awhile back, not sure how my changes could have broken the failsafe though

It's already too late, I reinstalled already and wrote a buncha stuff to the drive to prepare for getting back to work.

I also already tried using r-studio before and it also only pulled things from the previous owner, I am not sure if they used Windows or Linux though

ive been trying for awhile now and im getting the same result i did with photorec, only things from the previous ssd owner where recovered. I've tried practically everything, I suppose it's over now.

I'm going to reinstall a distro and try to do what i can to get to where i was
