Hey man, thanks again for replying
Yep, I did install again electrum, and what happens is that it suggest you a default (I suppose randomly generated) seed phrase
That why I said I likely did Next/Next/Accept?Yes to all shit xD
Will try your new suggestion as well, and this scalpel stuff. (requires time copying stuff)
Thanks again!
PS: What pisses me off is that I have Electrum folder with stuff inside, but not wallet folder. Why? Because that specified memory were deleted in the format but not adjacent files/folders? Did I move this folder somewhere else? Dont think so. The electrum version I was using did work the same way like the current one? No clue. Anyway, we keep going!
Maybe you saved your wallet not in default folder, maybe under Documents/ or something like this. Do you remember if you applied a password on your wallet? Yep, it could been saved somewhere else. The thing is that I couldnt find nothing like wallet, **wal**, **let** or something like that I'll scalpel whole HDD and let you know the results guys. Thanks a lot

Hi guys, thanks again for helping me out
I thought that the seed phrase could be stored in the HDD somewhere as well
Almost sure that if the version of electrum I used required the seed phrase, I did something like Next/Next/Next/Accept (yeh, I didnt care much back then)
Surely I didnt write it down or took a screenshot or summin.
Unafortunately I wasnt able to restore any wallet file/folder...
I'll try to run scalpel and I let you know the result guys.
Thanks a lot

Hi guys! Thanks again for all the help
I just realized I've got PLENTY of *.dat and *.txt files!
Any suggestion of what filenames I should look for? (Instead of _wal or something like that wich I've already tried) Also, the seed phrase could be a picture as someone has suggested?
Wich filename should have? It should be stored as well inside Electrum folder?
Feeling like there is something I could do!
Thanks guys!

Hi guys, here are some scheenshots of what Iīve been able to retrieve. You're looking for the wrong file names. Try this: looking for something like *wal* could also be a good chance to find something like, wal~ or _wal or ~wal_ I've seen a lot of variations. Some examples to try. *wal* *let* Hi, I already tried that, but didnt get any good results. What software do you recommend to search for this? I have used EaseUS and Wondershre Recoverit Thanks again!

Unafortunately I didnt remember doing such thing when I first created that wallet
And, unafortunately, there is nothing like wal, _wal, let... inside Electrum folder and anywhere else
Nothing can be done with the files I,ve been able to restore?
Thanks guys for all your help

*_wallet file. Try searching for *wallet*. The first time Electrum creates a wallet it'll name it default_wallet, and all subsequent wallets will be named wallet_1, wallet_2, so on and so forth. Also try to recall if you had given it another name, such as weedfunds, or some such silliness. I take it this was before bip32 seed phrase implantation? I can found a folder named Electrum (Was run by windows), i would say I was using the portable version tho. Couldn't get any file named default_wallet or something like that, not sure If I gave this wallet I name but I'd say I choose the default name All I got is blockchain_headers, config, recent_servers files and then a "certs" with DNS names and a bitcoins.sk file Can I do something with this..? If Electrum was installed on your system the directory where the wallet files are stored will be "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets". If you were using the standalone version it should have created the "wallets" directory files in the same directory where the executable file is located. You wont find any file named "seeds." The Bip32 (and subsequent Bip39) implementation allow us to create a wallet backup "seed phrase." These mnemonic phrases consist of 12 to 24 common dictionary words. The phrase would not have been stored on the computer, but rather you would have been instructed (during setup) to write down the phrase and store it someplace safe. If you have a seed phrase then you can stop searching for the old wallet files. The phrase can be used to restore your wallet and all your funds. I dont get that. Let's say I got that "seed phrase", what can I do with that? I thought since my wallet was stored locally, there is nothing I can dot but recover those very files

Thanks again for your replies
All I've been able to get anything related to this are a blockcahin_headers file, some bitcoins.sk, a config file and I think I could assume nothing named "wallet" or "seed"
I should probably learn how to do hexadecimal search byte by byte, maybe worth the effort lol
Thanks!!

Yep, I do know how erasing data from a drive works. But since I do not know how to restore a wallet, and if its even possible with the files I got... just asking
I did my own research but the quality info I reached requires a depth level of understanding about the topic, wich I have not right now
Well looks like I won't be able this, at least not without digging more
Thanks to all anyway
Best

Hi there
Thank y'all for your replies. I think I get your point but unafortunately I'm not "that" close to the solution.
I have been able to recover some files like blockchain_headers, bitcoins.sk, a certs folder, everything inside a Electrum folder
I can remember the icon of the software I used to make/receive transactions and how it worked, but couldn recover this file even a *_wallet file.
I used both EaseUS and Wondershare Recoverit
I have no idea if what I'm asking for could be accomplished, that's why I'm asking for some help, I would happily share some BTC if we can get this job done
Cheers!

Thanks for your answers guys. The main point is that I couldnīt find any file named wallet, or related. I do have anyway other files that Iīm not sure could end up restoring my wallet, that's why I'm asking for help Thanks!

Hi there! I know this probably has been asked like thousand of times, but I'm here asking personal help
Some years ago I had a electrum wallet when I used to use BTC to buy weed over the darknet (yep) in a HDD. Shit happens, that HDD got formatted to install again Win. I didnt take care much back then, but as you can imagine with the recent BTC rises I tried to restore files from that HDD, and I've been able to recover some related files
I'm a developer myself so I have some background on IT, but my skills are not sharp enough to get this job done, even to actually know if it can be done
If anyone out here is willing to help me in my quest, and we are able to restore some funds from there, I'll reward with a %10 of anything could be there. It could be 2 BTC, it could be 0.1... I'm not sure what we could found it there.
That being said, if you think you are skilled enough to do the job, please just let me know and lets get our hands dirty to get some BTC
Thanks in advance
