After a successful recovery, I managed to recover pdf and Microsoft word files but the files seem to be corrupt. And files are not readable as funny characters display instead of normal word viewing

It doesn't sound like a "successful" recovery to me, if all you've "recovered" is garbage.

Perhaps if you'd like to divulge what actually happened in the lead up to the data loss, and what you did to "recover" it?

You can say that again.

The user Installed an upgrade OS on top of the other one without creating a backup of the Files and folder. This process cleared the previously created partitioning in the process.

I used EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover.

I haven't come across such an error before considering the HDD does not have any physical damage.
