power shell or python etc..

What do you mean exactly?

What I mean by ----But I'm unable to recover them to their original format--- is that they are in .dll, .exe , .txt, .ttf formats.
I'm unable to see them in their original jpeg,mp4, pdf format. Please help me.

Below I have attached photos of the folder.

Technically it's not possible that your pictures, videos and PDFs are labeled as dll, exe, txt or ttf as they have a different fingerprint.
If you miss them they are most probably deleted.
To sort your files you don't necessarily need scripts. You can use the windows find function followed by CUT or COPY and PASTE.
