Except if Benjamin_Loison/shred/issues/17, if there was full disk encryption since Linux Mint Cinnamon install it is fine anyway.

history | grep ecryptfs-migrate-home

as all users (including root) and

history | grep adduser

can help noticing possible manual home encryption respectively temporary ad hoc user.

Above does not return anything it seems on the Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon owned by the person:

Running testdisk to see if some meaningful files/folders names or/and contents show up may help.

Maybe like ecryptfs-setup-swap, see Benjamin_Loison/ecryptfs/issues/3#issuecomment-2564360, it states that home encryption is already enabled.
