I just deleted the partition in one of my drives in Windows. I meant to delete a different one to install windows, but did a misclick. I didn't do anything else, including format the partition. How can I get the partition back? Anyone have any free and paid options? Thanks for your help.

I don't know about anything for Windows, but if the filesystem is still there you just need to recreate the partition with something non-destructive like Linux fdisk.

Ive actually done this a few times myself. Here is what you'll want to use (and its free):

It worked flawlessly each and every time and its relatively easy....just make sure you don't do anything else to the disk before you recover.
