Accidentally Formatted my SD card and data is all gone.
I was going through my files on my sd card for my dji pocket 2, which is a tiny camera. I ended up sorting everything how i wanted and with the filesystem being as: Untitled/DCIM/51days/(mp4 files here) . After plugging my sd back into my camera i pressed format sd card, as i was recommended to do this by some youtube video. I believe it is a quick format as it took less then 2 seconds. I then noticed that all of a sudden my sd card was completely empty, so without recording anything i plugged in back into my computer and the folder with my 51 entry days is all gone. I tried using disk drill and ended up paying $110 for it but it wasn't able to recover what i wanted. It recovered some of the files i had deleted but nothing from the 51days folder. Is it possible to recover them using testdisk? Or is it really a hopeless cause? Thank you. SD Card format is exFAT
