I accidentally wiped the **metadata** partition along with **Dalvik/ART** and **Cache** using TWRP and now I can't boot into the OS. **Internal Storage** and **USB-OTG** were excluded. Is there any way to backup my data (files, photos...)? Either by somehow fixing what I did wrong and booting into the OS or just by connecting the phone to a PC and using adb or any other method? When I boot into TWRP, the **Internal Storage** says **0mb** and the TWRP built-in **File Manager** can see some folders and files but cannot access all of them. For example, it doesn't show anything inside the data folder, which is what I care about saving. The phone is Poco F3 with Android 13 Custom ROM from Xiaomi.eu, rooted with Magisk **v27** and alioth TWRP version **3.7.0-12-POCOF3-v7.9_A13**, if that helps. I know I can flash a new ROM and boot the phone. But right now, I don't care about fixing the phone, just about my data, and I just want to save it if possible in any way? It may even be encrypted, doesn't matter, as long as I can decrypt it later and access it.
