I realized that I had made a mistake.
The previous recycler was created at 15 November 2013 and lived up to 1 February 2014 and the last modification was at 29 January 2014.
On 1 February 2014 the second recycler was created which still is the current bin and it was last modified at 25 February 2021.
So that is not too long ago and I would tend to conclude that OP overwrote his own wallet less then two weeks ago.
Why would you write onto a drive that you are trying to recover ?
That is the biggest mistake you can make.

On 25 february 2021 OP recovered this 2 dat files (you can search for the ballet.lnk), in my opinion after that he copied this 2 files and deleted them from hdd (maybe with use of some software that deleted and overwrote them? - why ithink so - because there is no sign of this two dat files in any recovery software)
