First you create a disk image to prevent further damage. Then you create a new ESP and recover the files from the backup. – Marco Apr 27 '15 at 12:30

@Marco I haven't deleted any documents. "create a new ESP" That is my question: How do I do that? – jobukkit Apr 27 '15 at 18:42

Creating an ESP is as simple as creating a new partition, preferably FAT32, and marking it as *active*. But that's not a restore because it doesn't contain any EFI applications, so your system won't boot. The EFI applications are regular files on a file system, nothing fancy about that. That's why I assume this question is a duplicate. – Marco Apr 27 '15 at 18:54
