Lost GB's Due To Windows Install

[dann20201]

Hey Guys
I have a 1TB WD Blue drive and when I was installing Windows, I did a partition mistake and tried to remove the 80GB partition I made, but apparently it did get removed, and So did 80GB of my hard drive. So now, I have 931 GB of C Drive Space (where Windows is Installed) where initially it was over 1000 GB.
My question is: Is there any way to recover my lost space, or will the hard drive be permanently suffering from lost capacity?
Thanks for all help in advance

Don't think you gave lost anything.
Math is pretty simple:
1'000'000'000'000/1024/1024/1024=931.32GB
That's exactly what you're getting.

Anyway - post screenshot from Disk Management, if you're not sure.

931GB sounds right after conversion for an empty or fully allocated single partition drive. (HDD and SSD space uses 1000 for kilo, 1000000 for million, and 1000000000 for tera while everything else uses base two values.

No physical harm happened, just loss of data you already had on that partition.

So your saying that I lost no space, just whatever data would have been on that partition got deleted? So I still have all the GB's I paid for?

Here's a screenshot of my Disk Management page.

As you can see there - disk size is 931.51GB and all of is is used in one giant 931.51GB partition.
Nothing is left unused, nothing is lost.

That is correct.

Now, with your image/screenshot, we can see that the current and only partition is using all the available space on that drive, and that space has some of it used by whatever you have stored on it (~ 310GB, 1/3, or 33% used space).
