Accidentally deleted files from an attached disk and while trying to undelete them, the disks don't show up in the node

I'm a novice, so please bear with me. Everything was working until I accidentally deleted the files and tried to recover them.

I have a proxmox instance going with an internal drive and 3 external drives. One is a USB-connected SSD. The other two are HDDs in a 5 bay enclosure (one stores home theater media and the other stores data for my other containers/vm. The hometheatermedia drive is mounted to ubuntu inside of a VM (104 in the pic).

I have webmin installed on one of my LXCs and I accidentally deleted a folder of media from hometheatermedia. I immediately tried to recover it, but nothing would work through ubuntu.

So I unplugged the enclosure and plugged it into my windows 10 laptop and tried testdisk and other data recover methods, but it seems that there's not a partition on the drive somehow and I'm encountering issues with the disk being problematic because of this. The syslog complains about a missing logical volume (which are the two in the enclosure I'm having issues with).

I've messed around with this a bunch already so I don't know if this data is recoverable or even where to go from here. Any help would be really appreciated.
