Hello I'm using paragon hard disk manager 17 business WS on windows 11.

sequence of events:
1. plugged my external hard dirve via USB
2. unlocked it (bitlocker locked)
3. used wipe free space using DOD algorithm in paragon (about 2 hours)
4. once finished, drive disappeared from "my computer"
5. chkdsk in CMD showed my drive in "my computer" with 100% free space and no prompt for password
6. CMD bitlocker commands dont recognise drive is encrypted

P.s. I chose the correct wipe free space (its 4 hours to wipe whole drive I didnt do this)
there are no partitions or backups of my drive.

is it all gone?
