I'm really upset right now because I accidentally deleted all my images while trying to clean up my PC. I initially wanted to clear out some useless photos using CCleaner to free up space, but somehow, it removed everything! I've tried using Recuva, but it only retrieved a few random files that weren't even useful. Are there any other options or recovery methods I can try?

For the best chance of recovering deleted files, consider removing the drive completely from your PC and using an external tool on a different computer. Running recovery software on the same machine can cause files to be permanently lost due to overwriting. Just be careful with how you proceed.
Have you looked into the Deep Scan option in Recuva? It's worth giving it a shot. Just remember not to download or create any new files on your PC until you find a solution, as that might overwrite the deleted ones you're trying to recover. The best bet right now is to minimize any PC use until you figure this out.
If your PC was syncing with OneDrive, you might be able to restore your photos from the OneDrive recycle bin. That could save you a lot of hassle!
If it's possible for you, professional data recovery services can be a reliable option. Just make sure to turn your machine off right away to maximize the chances of recovery.
I found success with a program called rphoto. It helped me get all my pictures back. Just start by installing the program and leave the computer alone while it scans—this may take some time, but it can be worthwhile.
