This problem occurs may because of Windows 10 installation bugs, and there are only 32 GB of storage space showing on your external hard drive. You may efficiently prevent data loss by knowing what to do after removing partitions on your Windows hard disk or external storage devices. Here are some recommendations about what you should do:
1. Once a partition has been lost or removed from a hard disk or portable storage device, you should stop utilizing it right once. On the device, don't store any data or make a new partition.
2. CMD commands can be used by certain users to restore lost partitions or data. The commands "list disk" and "select disk #", "list volume" "select volume #," and "assign letter = #" may only be used to restore a lost or deleted drive letter, causing a vanished partition to reappear.
You can try to use a professional data recovery tool to recover lost partitions. We will recommend EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to you! And we will show you how to recover data from deleted partitions after formatting the external hard drive:
