I accidentally deleted one of partitions from the Ubuntu livecd. I get afraid and recreated the partition. But it was formated and all my files were gone. I installed Ubuntu in another partition.

Is there any way to recover the files from the partition. I searched Google and found an application called 'testdisk'. Will it solve my problem?

If yes how to do it (I am new to Ubuntu)

If no suggest anything else please...

Will installing Windows and using apps like 'advance data recovery' help me...?

  • Yes, testdisk is what you should try; http://askubuntu.com/questions/724698/lost-windows-while-dual-boot-with-ubuntu/724701#724701 – EdiD Feb 02 '16 at 16:32

  • Do I have to delete partition again and proceed or keeping the recreated partition..? – anurag s Feb 02 '16 at 17:35
  • You don't have to delete partition again, just launch the testdisk and try to recover it. – EdiD Feb 02 '16 at 19:00
  • Do your best not to write anything to the new partition. As long as you do not write anything to it testdisk should be able to find the data. – chaptuck Feb 02 '16 at 22:52

Once you have deleted the partition, it's gone forever. Unless you have made a backup of the partition, then you can't get it back.
