Exclamation Need help to Recover Files

Hi all...

Here is the situation.

My brother in law left abroad for school and right now and his old computer is sitting on my room to be formatted. My wife wants it to be booted and installed with a new system. No problem until now. Thing is two days in a family chat she confessed that his girlfriend was sending him nude pics and sexy videos and she found out them in his computer. You can guess the ringing bells in my head right that moment. Problem is....

Computer has only one HDD divided into 2 partitions. Since 3 people used to use the computer (brother in law, mother in law and my wife when she was in their home) everyone has his/her own user acc. Today I connected the hdd searched whole thing but nothing was there. I guess my brother in law already took what he needs with his new comp and cleaned out everything else. So I connected the hdd to my own comp as an internal disc and run PC Recovery Tool. unfortunately I found only lost/deleted files from my wifes acc. Nothing came out related to his files. No school files, pictures word docs or anything. So I guess I'm doing something wrong but couldn't figure it out. If there is some one who can help that would be very very much appreciated.

Soo... you are my only hope OCC


P.S: I hope this post is not against the rules.
