accidently deleted hard drive partition

snaps

Ive stupidly deleted my external hard drive (Back up) partition when keeping it plugged in while doing a re format of a laptop. I did not format this drive but just deleted the partition. Is there any way i can recover and save my data? Im gutted as it was my photos of the last 10 years.
