Any way to recover lost shares and its content?

Sorry … somewhat long story …

I bought this WD 2T box many years back … ( WDBCTL0020HWT) … It was there and I manually backed up files/photos etc as I went along. It has been so many years since … that I forgot how I set it up. I had public and user based shared which I could access from my laptop.

Now, I got new laptop last week. It is running win 11. For some reason, I could not access the user share so I started monkey around with the shares config within the WD server running on the WD itself. As stupid as it sounds, I clicked on removing the user share (I thought that removing and re-adding could help ???) and seems as “removing” really meant DELETING…

I cannot see the user share now from the old laptop … I think it is gone (and so it is the content)… Is there any way to recover it ???

I found few utube videos …I guess next weekend will be busy weekend …
