I’m trying to add a data source - the drive I am using on my computer recently. I’m not worried about data being overwritten right now since this is for a project. The goal is to delete a few documents and recover them. The issue is that when I add a data source, I can’t pick the the drive I am using right now. Is what I am trying to do not possible?

On Windows you need to run as admin to see all the drives. It could be something similar.
