First, please calm down because there’re two accessible solutions to recover deleted partitions Windows 10. Second, let’s dig into the meaning of partition to get more details.
Disk partitioning (Disk slicing) refers to creating one or more regions on secondary storage. After that, each region can be managed separately. These regions are what we normally call partitions.
Sometimes, if you cannot access yourdesired partition in Windows File Explorer, you can use Disk Management to view it because this tool is designed to perform advanced storage tasks in Windows. Perhaps you can find your deleted partition in the unallocated space.
After partition loss, please put the following pertinent suggestions into practice.
- Stop using your storage devices as quickly as you.
- Do not write new data on the partition.
- Do not reformat the hard drive.
- Do not rebuild the partition table.
