Windows 10: Downloads folder wiped

I was looking at threads. And i found that the windows 10 had set itself to delete things when low on space. I have lost an entire essay that is due very soon. Is there anyway i can get it back, i recently created 2/21/21 this deleted essay if that helps? I also didnt know downloads wasnt safe for a storage place for important documents.

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
