Try R-Studio in trial mode. See if it can scan better. You do not pay, unless you see a result that looks better than Disk Drills.

the problem was the volume was overwritten in the directory area, and APFS scatters files everywhere.

Sorry you have a bad result here.

Scan with Disk Drill is free, you do not need to pay until you recover. What you need to make sure is all the "structure" is there. (file names/folders). a recovery is useless if it cannot get the structure.

thanks, i just have a license of Disk drill, i hope to recover file, not need folder structure, most of files are backupped, but i need to find aome after effects project and some psd (sorce for this project), and few others files. but obviously it's not easy to do but i hope.

if i can rebuild structure is better.
disk warrior not work on apfs, then isn't useful to me.

The problem is a Mac OS bug which we have seen over the years, where we can reproduce it, where the Disk Utility tool can attempt to erase an APFS volume as HFS. We have also seen it on some macOS upgrades.

I cannot tell what really happened here. Its likely you can recover the volume data using Disk Drill, or R-Studio.

Do you remember what command in the App you used to get this error?

Sorry about this. You can attempt Disk Warrior, but do not purchase it if you do not own it, as I would guess less than 50% that it can "repair" the volume.
