To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

Event sequence
1 - Install bobby linux distribution after moving from linux mint distribution and split hardsk without mastery and according to YouTube guidelines
2 - there is a problem in the type of file format after installation
3 - turn on the distribution of Bodhi Linux from Flash without installing
a note that may be important: my important files are 99% sure that they are here tracking the size of the files

Re: Problem during installation and partition
Please run this too:
LANG=C sudo blkidFrom the details you have so far provided all I can assume is that when you installed Bobby Linux it overwrote everything on drive sda by re-partitioning it, creating new file systems and writing all the Bobby Linux installation files to it. If so then your only hope of recovering even a single file would be to use photorec, (Photorec Step By Step).
If you can, provide more details about the disk re-partitioning you performed; how you instructed Bobby Linux to use your disk drive; the order of these steps and when your files disappeared.

Above you said your missing files were in 99% chance in /dev/sda5. Blkid reports sda5 doesn't contain a file system. As you haven't provided any more detail of what was done to overwrite your files the only option left is to use photorec to scan the drive looking for fragments of data it can assemble into files.

By repartitioning the disk I created a partition and then put Bobby Linux on it and I never overwrite the said partitions containing my stuff I put the OS in one of these two I think my procedure is correct only my problem with choosing the file format type is empty
My files are not gone How do they disappear? Look at the partitions, their size in gigabytes. It contains my files, while the size of the Bobby Linux operating system is in megabytes, I remember that well

What type file system was on sda5?
(I am expecting an answer such as: fat32, ntfs, ext4 or other file system name).
Please run this and report the output.
(It may complete immediately or take many, many hours depending on what it finds).

This is what I don't know, maybe one of the things you mentioned, I'm not sure due to my ignorance of special syntaxes in Linux
My private files are folders, PDF video formats, image formats, software, etc.
Re: Problem during installation and partition
The first 320 bytes at the start of partition sda5 just looks like random data.
What OS did you used to create the file system in sda5 in the first place?
What OS did you use to access, create and edit your files?
Did you use any disk encryption?

When moving from Linux Mint to Bobby Linux
I don't know anything about encryption
Re: Problem during installation and partition
There is nothing further that I can do.
You have 3 choices:
1. Try using photorec, (Photorec Step By Step) to get your files back.
2. Pay a data recovery service to get you files back.
3. Don't get your files back.

a question
Does this program only recover images or various formats, for example, PDF files, programs, etc.
