So, I was advised to run TestDisk, found the partition that I had deleted, but I wasn't able to write the partition data back on the hard drive. I think the mistake lies in the fact that I selected "Logical" instead of the other options. Which one should I go for? https://imgur.com/a/8OJl3Dg(Screenshot was taken before I had selected logical that's why it's all Ds) Where did I go wrong? I know it is the last one for sure, because of the partition size. I know all of my files are in tact, because I ran Recuva earlier (it's crap, I know, don't judge me, haven't dealt with data recovery that much before and it was able to do the trick). Moreover, I'm not downloading anything to the Hard Drive, because I don't want to mess anything up(I got some common sense). To repeat myself, why wasn't I able to write the partition data ? (And yes, I've restared my PC as TestDisk advised). Forgot to mention that I got "No Partition Found", but I can see my files from the "List Files" Option.

I can only see a black picture behind your link. Please upload a more meaningful picture to this site using the "Attachments" on the bottom of the screen. Please post a Testdisk log file as well.

Included picture of the partitions it found, of it listing the files, and the log

I really can't tell because you did not document what you did.

The "list files" option returns specific information for each partition. Which partition does contain your files? " I know it is the last one for sure, because of the partition size." sounds convincing but does not have to be true.

I figured out which one it is. This is how I got the List of files on there, the other partition just had a windows install on it. The figuring out process what that I ran TestDisk again and selected "List Files", didn't try this the first time.

I tried merging two partitions, when I tried to do so I got the error: The Selected GPT Formatted Disk Contains A Partition Which Is Not Of Type ‘PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID’, I used google advice thinking that it would affect only one of the partition(Used DiskPart and selected the exact partition I want converted, this is what led me to think it would be only one of one the partitions) and here I am.
