You may find luck with foremost on the partition when it is unmounted. If the area where the data once was has been overwritten then the data has gone.
You will lose name and location data but you may get full or partial files back.
You will need another storage of equal size or greater to the one you are restoring from. You will also 'restore' the standing data.
