Testdisk is the application that you are looking for
Although if you wrote anything to your drive and it isn’t an ssd your data is probably screwed by now unless you store data on your hdds

you could use another pc (to avoid writing to disk at all on the affected one) to make a Hirens boot CD PE bootable rescue disk onto USB. with that, you can boot it on the original PC, and use its included programs, Photorec, and Recuva to scan the linux drive

gparted also has an 'attempt data recovery' feature in its Device menu. boot Mint live usb. if u want to test that

What do you think of R-linux? https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/
R-studio is pretty known recovery software, but paid. This part is freeware though
