Disk Partition Screw Up

I deleted a partition on my HP Windows laptop while trying to manage disk space for my damn major project I panicked and thought I broke everything, but thankfully the system is booting and working now. I can transfer files and download normally. I’ve run: chkdsk C: /scan sfc /scannow Cleared Windows update cache My main concern is:

if there is a hidden long-term damage to the disk or bootloader that it's not telling me SMART status currently shows no critical errors but im looking for reassurance or next steps I should take to ensure everything is stable ;)

cannot afford a new ssd in this economy 😭 don't know what to do
