I was downloading the Windows 10 ISO file, I had other files in my USB, then I set up the ISO file and after it was done all my files were deleted and now I cant find them. I'd like to know how/if they can they be saved?

they're gone.
That's what the Media Creation Tool does it FORMATS (deletes everything) on the drive so it be setup properly to boot Windows.

Unless they're worth more than $10,000 to try and get them recovered by a data forensics specialist. And you likely won't get anything back because you wrote back over the delete dated with the windows install files.
