You'll need 3rd party software to recover these files. I use FileSaver,
from http://www.file-saver.com
Of course, the less work you do with your computer, in the meantime, the
better your chances of recovering your deleted files/folders intact.

"Deleting" a file doesn't actually delete it; it just marks the
space as available to be used. There are third-party programs
that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the
space used by the file is likely to become overwritten very
quickly, and this makes the file unrecoverable.
So your chances of successfully recovering this file is decent if
you try recovering it immediately after deleting it, and rapidly
go downhill from there. If you've been using the computer since
then (for example to write this question and read this answer),
your chances are probably very poor by now.
But if the file is important enough, it's worth a try anyway.
Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't
done so already. Download an undelete program (there are several
to choose from; do a Google search) on a friend's computer and
bring it yours on a floppy to try.
If this fails, your only other recourse is to take the drive to a
professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very
expensive and may or may not work in your case.

OK, fine. Don't assume that anyone who replies to a message has
seen the reply you may have sent earlier.
Even if I had seen your message before sending mine (in this
case, I hadn't), I might still choose to reply because I felt
there was extra value to the OP in seeing the same thing said a
slightly different way, with different emphasis, etc.
