I accidentally deleted all my data while windows installation setup by running diskpart 'clean' command. :( Then I executed 'convert gpt' command and all my data was gone. I did not copy anything to my HDD after and is there any chance to recover my data again?

By googling I found by following these steps using TestDisk has some silver line to recover my data. But since I executed 'convert gpt' will it be possible?

I recovered my lost partitions using Mini tool power data recovery. I could recover all my partitions since I haven't had overwritten by data.

Also tools like Recuva can be used. Additionally I tried using free versions of these tools but it didn't work and licensed version needed. So in a such a situation TestDisk open source (free) tool can be used. The one I mentioned above.

clean command entered before MBR to GPT conversion deletes only partition table. So the data can be recovered.
