I need a little guidance on how I can retrieve my private key. I thought I had correctly saved it to my Google Keep cloud account, but I have discovered that I did not.
I had the wallet installed on a hard drive on a laptop, then I reinstalled my OS, Kubuntu. It formatted the hard drive before doing so.
Does anyone have experience in recovering directory structure from before a format? I’m a little lost in the dark about how to attempt recovery.
I’ve tried foremost, but it seems to have only pulled files from after the format and reinstall, as the total files found match up to the used space after the format and install. The files are also all renamed, so I wanted to get some insight before I proceed further.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I realize the the reinstall could very likely have overwritten the sectors on the drive where the wallet file was previously stored.
Cheers.
