There are several programs for recovering damaged USB drives but they vary by the type of operating system you are using. Are you using Windows (10 or 11), a Mac, or Linux?

I use the spread sheets daily to keep track of my finances. appointments, events, etc. Each time I open and record information, which is daily, I always save the document. Recently, due to technical errors the Geek Squad had to come out and help fix the errors, which involved the use of our Mouse. This happened yesterday. After the Geek Squad left, I accidently knocked out the USB in which holds the OPEN OFFICE program. Since then, I have not been able to recover any of my saved calendar spread sheets that took me over a year to create. MANY hours have gone into recording these receipts/dates/appts. Plese tell me there is a way to recover these very important and time consumed documents that I do have the ability to ever get back. I am begging that there has to be a solution to this problem. Please feel free to e-mail me as soon as you can as I am in panic mode that I will never see these documents again. Thank you for your time, understanding, assistance with this matter.
