You aren't likely to be able to unfortunately. The one shot you have is to install a recovery program, and then deep scan the entire hard disk, which should recover some files that haven't been overwritten already. Have a read of this: https://www.linux.com/news/enterpri...s-after-you-accidentally-wipe-your-hard-drive Without trying to sound harsh, this presses the reason why backups before any changes are crucial. It is a mistake my users new to Linux make, so you aren't alone. Hell, even I've accidently deleted important partitions in the past, but I've also always had regular backups. It's a chore to do them, but they're a life saver in situations like this.
