Hi @krustydj If these files contain no vault data unfortunately they cannot help to recover your seed phrase.
I see only one thing that you could do, is to find the files that contain the vault data, existing and deleted.
Make the search all over your hard drive via terminal like explained in this screenshot. Replace
bitbook
by \"salt
The search can take several hours. Better leave it the whole night. It will show you all files containing vault data, existing and deleted (if they were not overwritten)
