So about 6 months ago I lost a very important world save from reformatting my hard drive before remembering to backup that file. I wasn't sure what to do when I realized what I had done so I tried to move on from it, tried some other games or whatever to forget about it. I know it's been a while, but I miss this world save a lot, I put a lot of hard work into it and recently I have been wanting to recover it back more and more.
Now I'm not exactly sure how/if I can recover this file. I have tried several measly free file recovery programs to no avail. I know I may be beating a dead horse, but is there anything else I can do that any of you can think of that I can do to recover this file? I'm willing to pay some money if need be but i'd like to know if it's possible first.
Not sure if this information helps but there was one other copy of that world save, I sent it via Skype to my friend one time. However, we have both reformatted our hard drives since then and apparently Skype messages save to your computer and got wiped with the resets too.
If you reformatted your hard drive, there is probably no way to recover that file. Whenever you reformat a drive it erases all data permanently. It warns you of this if you attempt to do so (If you have Windows). I'm sorry to hear that you lost all of that work, but all I can say is be more careful next time.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Is anyone able to help? I have an old imgur link of photos of the world here but I need to know how i could get the save back!
