I wouldn't waste time with the GUI. Just copy the files to some other storage device -- rsync -aP If you cannot see/recover the files, then try 'photorec," description from its main page DESCRIPTION PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (Photo Recovery) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it'll work even if your media's filesystem is severely damaged or formatted. PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover lost data from.
