I've got a partition that is encrypted using VeraCrypt. I accidentally deleted some files and would like to recover them. The main problem is that tools like ntfsundelete require a device to work. But there is only a device inode like /dev/mapper/veracrypt1 as long as the device is mounted in VeraCrypt. I cannot access this device inode because it's "already opened exclusively", probably by VeraCrypt.

How can I undelete the files? The actual data should still be there... hopefully.

Unfortunately, I had to give up on the remaining deleted files. About 75% were irreversibly lost, no trace of them left on the volume. Not the end of the world, but still a nuisance. Anyway, some files could be restored by using a tool named Recuva. I can recommend it! Just pay attention to what you install alongside. It might come with some adware.
