So my E drive had a lot of important things and all of a sudden it was deleted, it contained my account inside so I am now stuck in my Admin account. Is there any way to help me get my drive back? It is a hard drive. Please help me

Logical drives can't be deleted the same way as a file or directory. It can be formatted, the partition removed or the drive has gone bad. Does the disk still show up in 'Disk Management'

it can also be reassigned so for example if your software saves to a Usb stick as E then you remove the stick and replace it with a different usb stick they may both be assigned as E
