Usually this is because you are reading the file system based on the wrong starting offset for the data's partition. Let me guess, you didn't actually scan the full drive, you only scanned the one partition right?

What is the disk type: HDD or SSD?
Did you try to find the files among the Extra found files?

Sorry Alt, I don't understand your reply! What do you mean with "you should scan the disk", for what reason?

I think you should scan the disk.

No, the computer was no longer used after the file deletion and was shut down.

It's possible that the files in the folder were just overwritten with new data. Was the drive used much or any new data added since when the folder was deleted?

No, I recovered the data to a USB connected SSD

Did you recover the data back to the same drive you were recovering off of?
