I have accidentally deleted a folder with many subfolders and many gigabytes of important files on an external drive. After that, I immediately disconnected the drive to prevent overwriting of data and automatic defragmentation. How can I recover the specific folder which has been deleted? I do not want all files to be scattered after recovery. Is there a way to restore the folder if I know what its title was before deletion?

Scan the drive using software such as R-Studio or UFS Explorer and see what it finds. Knowing the name doesn't speed up the process in any way. DR software still has to find the relevant entries in the metadata to know how to recover the folder, and that requires scanning.
