I'm hoping for help on this one, I messed up big time.
I was getting pretty bored on dialysis so I thought this would be a good time to try Bleach Bit. I was wrong...really wrong.
It seemed to be going very well, no errors that I could see. I watched for the entire 3 hours it took to run. Dialysis takes 10 to 12 hours so I had the time.
Long story short...I rebooted the laptop and I about cried...nothing. When I set up Bleach Bit, I didn't think I included anything important.
My question here is, could I dig out my original ISO image but instead of formatting the hard drive and all could I act like I'm just doing a test run, and then run Timestamp to recover system data?
Or will it be my bad luck and that's gone too?
Any other thoughts or idea on this? Other than never run Bleach Bit again?
I have the majority of my data on 2 external SSDs so if need be I will reinstall Mint again. I just wanted to avoid that.
Let me know please.
