In most filesystems, the files aren't really deleted, just the pointers
to them. If you haven't changed your filesystem much since this event
and you really need the data, you can unmount the filesystem and use
something like dd to pull the raw data off of the device. Then you can
use an editor to search for known contents and extract it.

Depending on how fragmented your files are, your work will be much
harder to reconstruct the full files.

If the data is very important, then it might be worth the effort.
