You should boot the computer from.a.USB drive and then run a tool called pywallet, it will go through your drive on sector level and find possible wallet files, encrypted keys or unencrypted keys, even if the files afe deleted.

You just need to install python and required libs.

pywallet could be find on github and its open source.

@OP,
If you decide to go through this suggestion, please beware about the risks here if you download it from an unofficial source

Please use GitHub only for this -

pywallet-win-files (probably Windows related files as they're in .bat format by jackjack-jj

Hope this helps you get back your BTC.
