How the fuck can it not recover the files?

Fun fact, files don't just get instantly nuked when you delete them, those areas are just marked with a deleted flag and only when you start adding new files it gets overwritten.

That why some people send a bunch of 0s to their partition to completely wipe it.

Undeleting files typically requires low-level access to the drive containing the deleted files.
Do you really want to give an AI, the same one that just wiped your files, that kind of access to your data?
