How can I recover data from an overwritten disk?

I started cloning my computer to an external drive which contained several files and archives with Macrium Reflect (free version).

It was my first time using Macrium. I normally always used Windows 10 built-in backup, which I stored in the aforementioned external drive.

So I got a prompt telling me that the drive would be overwritten and I don't know what my brain was doing that I just accepted it and clicked "continue". As soon as cloning started, I cancelled it. But now the drive is no longer accessible and softwares (e.g. Dropbox) that were installed in this hard drive are now unaccessible.

The external drive does not have any previous versions available.

Is there any chance I can recover about +400GB of files from the external drive?

Desperate please and thanks

You might be better asking over at Macrium, it's their software that you were using: https://forum.macrium.com/

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
