How to open recovery file on D drive

[Slspcanada]

I had to do a system recovery. During the process I backed up some photos and documents to the D Dr. And then proceeded with the recovery. So now I’m back to factory reset and want to get my files that I backed up on the D Dr. There is a folder there called recovery and will not let me open it. How do I get my documents? I really need some help on this. I followed all of the instructions and the back up did happen. So the folder is named recovery and a warning comes up and won’t let me open it.

Hello
you cannot use this partition.

Normally if documents have been added, they should be visible, as shown here.

The partition is protected, we can not open it, and we must not be able to include files in it, except, where it is visible

your only option would be to use special software, but I don't have an example, and it's risky
Before any manipulation I advise you to check this

•  Obtaining PC Recovery USB Drives or Discs

Thank you for your help. I wonder where it backed up to? It showed the D drive. Weird. Oh well, I’ve lost the docs. Merry Christmas to you!
