If you're trying to recover the deleted device backups then you're probably out of luck. Even if you did reclaim the backup sets they may not hold the data that you want. See Archive iPhone backup in Windows - Apple Community for some background. Ideally you would routinely export photos and videos from your device to local storage, which you would then back up.

You're supposed to backup your data before you format a drive. iTunes doesn't do that for you. iTunes can backup your device locally, but formatting will have removed those backups. Is the data still on the iPhone? See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community. If the content only existed on the formatted drive you might try something like https://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/free-data-recovery-software.htm.
