If it was an SSD… Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete… However the format is broken, as is the drive.
use your backup to recover them
ntfs-3g on linux has some recovery tools, maybe they could work?
photorec/testdisk
I can’t help directly, but the people at lemmy.world/c/techsupport mighr be able to.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !techsupport@lemmy.world
I’ve used getdataback successfully a few times in the past.

If the contents of this drive have high importance and you don’t have backups, stop what you’re doing and sent it out to a data recovery specialist. It will cost ~$700+.
Otherwise, I’d try Testdisk.
