Not-so-short background:
I deleted "storage" folder in internal storage while connected to my laptop via MTP. I did this to free-up storage space on Xperia Z Ultra. Not knowing that the deleting the seemingly empty and useless folder would be a huge mistake, I went ahead and deleted it casually. Needless to say, it did free-up storage space. It wiped both my internal and SD card.
I managed to recover the contents of my SD card with the help of Recuva after changing the USB connection option to mass storage mode. But this process is not applicable on the phone's internal storage. Most of my recent vacation photos and special occasion videos for the last 5 months are saved in my phone's internal storage. This is one of those moments when you realize the importance of backing up your files online or at least on a different storage device.
I already tried several recovery applications available in Google's Play Store as well as Windows software. They only seem to recover media files I've browsed over the internet and Facebook but not the actual pictures and videos I captured with my phone's camera. Now, I've TRIED to follow guides that help you generate raw file of your entire internal storage, mount it using virtual drives then proceed with using Recuva on it. The thing is, I'm not so much technical as you guys when it comes to installing ADB and advanced Linux stuff that is required to successfully pull it off.

Question:
Is there an easy way to have my Xperia Z Ultra's internal storage be connected to a computer much like a traditional external storage devices and get a drive letter assigned to it? In this way, I can run Recuva once Windows 7 can detect it as a drive.
I hope someone can help me accomplish this. If you have other procedure on how to recover my files on my internal storage, feel free to suggest. :)
