There has to be a way, so many people had the same issue and the same error recovered their data through terminal.
Those people would have been using a hard drive instead of an SSD. SSDs work differently than hard drives. When you erase an SSD the data is immediately gone when TRIM is enabled like it is on an Apple internal SSD. With hard drives when you delete data, you are only removing the links to the data.....the actual data still resides on the physical platters of a hard drive until that data is actually overwritten.
I did scan untitled using disk drill and found nothing, but my bootcamp still opens up to a blue error screen.
That is because the Windows bootloader still resides on the hidden EFI (aka ESP) partition. You would need to manually mount that partition using the command line so that its contents can be viewed in the Finder and delete the "windows" folder, then unmount that EFI partition.
The partitioning is still there, but maybe the data is allocated somewhere else on my mac.
Yes, because all you did was convert the Windows partition that used NTFS file system into a partition that now uses some other file system.
please do let me know if you find a way that does lead to my files..
You've already proven that the data is gone as I mentioned in my previous post since Disk Drill did not find any files.
Is there by any chance another partition associated with the former Windows installation? If so, then your data may be there, but since you did not mention any other Windows partitions I'm assuming there are none & your Windows' data is gone unless you have another copy of those files stored elsewhere.
I'm sorry. I wish I had better news for you.
