Help about samsung recovery

So I had this recovery error that said my winload.efi was missing so I ran the recovery from boot up and decided to recover. I read that this will delete the files from C: so I turned on the "Maintain User Data" option and selected all including the local disk c from advanced selection. But when the process was finished, my laptop was empty and no data was restored. What happened ? did I just misunderstand how it works and now it's gone ? or is it just somewhere I can't find ?




P.S
sorry for my English. not my main language.

Welcome Wattup. See if there is a file in your root directory called windows.old, otherwise you may be out of luck.

if u have no choice then there's this software called icare data recovery just buy it though i will cost u, theres a chance of having SOME of the files back
