On /dev/sda6 (non primary) partition, I have a dir called /bean. I usually download some videos from Google photos there - which are in zip format called Photos-001.zip. I then copy those to an external drive, delete the zip file, videos from Google & Google trash - all permanently - to make space on Google photos. But I made a mistake once. I deleted zip without copying to external drive , and from Google photos & trash. To save any damage I immediately unmounted the partition & removed it from fstab. Nothing's been written to that partition ever since. I've used a 5 year old YouTube video on ext4magic & a recent video on how to use TestDisk. I can see the existence of deleted file, inode of dir & file, & tried to recover. Both tools create /bean dir but not files. Can someone please help that one single zip? Thanks in advance.
