I was using Windows 11. For some reason, I tried to install Ubuntu but it deleted my all data.I have recovered some data.

I have used different softwares for data recovery but nothing helped. What should I do?
BitLocker Drive Encryption, a full-volume encryption feature in Windows 11/10, protects data by encrypting all used sectors with AES-CBC or XTS-AES encryption algorithms. This robust security presents a unique challenge: traditional data recovery software cannot decrypt these sectors correctly, making them unable to recover lost files from BitLocker-encrypted drives. So, is there a way to recover lost files from a BitLocker-encrypted drive in Windows 11/10? The answer is yes—by using specialized BitLocker data recovery software designed to handle encrypted volumes.

Download, install, and run Hasleo Data Recovery. On the main interface, you'll see several recovery options. Please select BitLocker Data Recovery mode to proceed.
1. Select the drive where you lost or deleted files, then click "Scan" to find all BitLocker-encrypted drives on your system.
2. A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter the BitLocker password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. If you don't want to enter the password or BitLocker recovery key here, just click the "Skip" button to skip it.
3. Hasleo Data Recovery will display all detected BitLocker-encrypted partitions on the target device. If you provided the password or BitLocker recovery key in the previous step, the password status will show whether they match the partition.
4. After the deleted or lost Bitlocker encrypted drive is found, double click it. If you've already entered the password or BitLocker recovery key and the password or recovery key matches, Hasleo Data Recovery will start scanning lost files. Otherwise, a prompt will appear asking for your BitLocker password or 48-digit recovery key. After entering the correct credentials and clicking "OK", the scan will start.
The software will display a list of found files. You can preview them by path or file type. Select the files you want to recover and click "Recover" to save them. If some files are missing, click "Deep Scan" to start the Deep Scan Recovery process. This takes more time but can recover significantly more lost data.
