Windows 10: Lost My Files Because Of Microsoft's Incompetence!!!

Had a problem with some software, so they want me to create a test user account. And they gave me a link from Microsoft's site to create a test user account. I didn't read everything properly, I thought they wanted me to create an admin account. So I changed the account type to admin to the newly created user. When I was done with the account I've deleted the current account, not the one I was using as default. It asked me for my permission, saying that all the files will be deleted, but it was the account that I've created for testing. Then now I can't switch back to the account I was fucking using!!! I'm trying to log in with my Microsoft account, it accepts the password as it's correct, then it asks me to enter the password again to log in again. And it doesn't fucking accept the same fucking password! The HDD shows that it's as filled as before. So I just lost the files on the desktop and every other fucking option I made! So what I need is to log in to my Microsoft account, imo!

Nope, it seems the current user folder has been deleted. FUCK!

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
