VM was stored on second drive of SSD (partition).

Is there any possibility to recover in this case? RecoverIt showed the VM files in first run, but when I purchased the software, it did not show those files. As most of them allows to view files in free version. I tried free / basic / trial versions of those software's.

From last two days, I have been trying different tools, but no luck so far. It was in my trash for about 4 days, and I emptied trash two days ago. Before deleting, I copied all of my data, and I forgot to copy some important data, which was stored in 'Sticky Notes'.

It was pretty large in size, around 50 Gigs, and I deleted to free up some storage. I deleted windows 10 VM from my MacBook two days ago.
