Windows 10: Accidentally deleted the whole drive, Partition D: was with bitlocker

Hi all,


I hope you doing well. I would like to get help about an accident because I almost got a heart attack.



I wanted to format my laptop. Before that I sent all data do the Partition D: that was encrypted with Bitlocker. I alsosaved recovery key in any case.


After that I booted with USB Windows 10 to format the drive deleted all partitions of the drive, when I made the killing mistake anddeleted even partition D: by accident.


So the drive now looks like this:





After I deleted drive I didn't format it or didn't do anything. I just let it like that. I tried to recover with some methods but none of them works.


Tried EASEUS Data recovery == it shows only Partition C: data

Tried BitLocker Data Recovery == Password and Recovery key not working.

Tried M3 Bitlocker Recovery == Password and Recovery key not working.





Halseo and M3 are not accepting Recovery key and password, I think because I deleted all recovery partitions.


Before delete partitions I had:


Samsung SSD Evo 850 - 512Gb

Windows 10 Pro

Drive D: Bitlocker.

I also have a backup of some data but I'm missing many important data.



I hope you feel my pain and I appreciate any advice or help about the problem I have.


Honestly

How to delete D drive encrypted by Bitlocker without password or recovery key?

There's a Dell PC running Windows 10 in my office that a previous user had that they created an encrypted D drive with Bitlocker. The guy has left and nobody has proper contact with them.

I don't care about the data on the D drive I just want to delete the drive off the PC. Steps I have already taken are:

• Reinstall Windows
  
• Reset the PC with the options "Remove everything" and "Only drives where windows is installed"
  

When I chose the option "All drives" I get an error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC".

Can anyone provide instructions on how to delete the D drive encrypted with Bitlocker?

 

How to use Bitlocker to encrypt (and automatically decrypt) a single but partitioned hard-drive (C and D partitions)?

Hey Solar Eclipse,

I was brave enough today to enable Bitlocker on both my C: and D: partitions of my hard-drive.

Everything went well, following your instructions.

I enabled Bitlocker first on the C: partition (where Windows 10 is installed), and then on the D: partition.

While enabling Bitlocker on the C: partition, the partition unlocked (and continues to unlock) automatically - a Bitlocker password was not requested.

Regards the D: partition, it also unlocks automatically - the wizard for enabling Bitlocker on the D: partition had automatic unlocking as an option, which I chose.

So other than not having to input a Bitlocker password while enabling Bitlocker on the C: partition, your instructions are exact. So I'm marking your post as an answer.

Many thanks!!
