Support Request Linux help

So i did a stupid thing which i dont even know why i did while decreasing my partition so i could put some gigabytes on a separate smaller windows partition I did the stupid thing and x’ed out of gparted while it said something like ‘moving partition x to the left and copying x amount of gigabyte’ I don’t really remember what it said but it was something along those lines. Now I’m guessing it’s over so I just wanted to know if there is anything I can still do or should do at this point.

I don’t know how to add a photo in here so I’ll just send it in the comments if that works

Edit: this might seem dumb but I can’t upload a photo on here nor the comments and if I just don’t don’t know how please someone tell me on how to add on using your phone

use testdisk to recover if still possible.

But now, turn off the computer as any change on the storage can render recovery impossible.

Also provide an external storage at least as big as the one you want to recover
