File deletion and partitions when installing

Post by j_copper »

I have installed Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon on two different computers.

Each time I have chosen to delete everything and install the new version of Mint. I have not chosen to do anything with the partitions.

Once I get everything done, I log in and find that all my old files still exist under Devices and I have a new arrangement of partitions.

Any help on what's going on here and how to put my partitions back would be helpful. I am a total newbie when it comes to such things.

Thank you.
