I can't agree more.
But I bet he'll insist that it's the right seed phrase. He said it multiple times in his two threads already.
And he also said that it might be the old version corruption bug (
perhaps, done in the session when he sent the 2 transactions).
I've already gave up on the finding a solution in my last reply to OP because his situation looks hopeless, aside from his claims and the results are contradicting.
Recovering deleted files from an encrypted drive/OS is troublesome enough, moreover, the flash drive is unavailable:
What is described in the link is absolutely possible that this is actually what I did.
If so, is there anything at all that might help, or at least I could try besides file restoration
If it's what happened, you can only recover it from the deleted wallet files
because the address' private key might only be recoverable by restoring one of those wallet's seed phrase.
