If you don't have backups, bring up the File Explorer and look at Onedrive. If you haven't changed the settings for Onedrive, you'll find your pictures and documents folders have been automatically backed up there. In earlier versions of Windows, you could also look at Previous Versions, but in Windows 10 I just noticed on my laptop that none of my folders have previous versions. I guess MS disabled that when they came out with Onedrive. I've been running Windows 10 since 10/1/2014 but never noticed that before. Harrumph!
Good luck.

Make regular full system backups or you'll be sorry sooner or later.

You could try booting Linux & see if you can get to the files that way. You can download Linux Mint from here:
https://linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php . Burn the ISO to a DVD & boot from it. You don't have to install anything and it has a user interface similar to Windows. Worth a try.
Good luck.
