You can try pywallet's --recover tool: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet
It works just like keyhunter, it will try to restore deleted keys/wallet from the selected drive.

here's an example command for recover (tested with python v2.7.17 and latest version of pywallet):
Code:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=D: --recov_size=50Gio --recov_outputdir=C:\pywallet_recov_dir
Then you'll be prompted for the created wallet's passphrase (where the keys will be imported) and the to-be-recovered keys' possible passphrases.

The result will be a wallet.dat named "recovered_wallet_<number>.dat" that you can load to Bitcoin Core.
