If the files were deleted recently, stop using the affected drive as much as possible. Every new file you save increases the chance of overwriting the deleted data, making recovery more difficult.
A good first step is to check the Recycle Bin or any available backups. If the files aren't there, you'll need data recovery software.
I've had good results with BLR Data Recovery Toolkit. It can scan internal and external hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, memory cards, and other storage devices to recover deleted, formatted, or lost files. The software offers both Quick Scan and Deep Scan modes, so if the first scan doesn't find your files, you can perform a more thorough search.
The toolkit supports recovery of documents, photos, videos, emails, and many other file types. One feature I found useful is the preview option, which lets you verify recoverable files before saving them. Be sure to recover files to a different drive than the one you're scanning to avoid overwriting recoverable data.
The most important thing is to act quickly and avoid writing new data to the affected drive until you've completed the recovery process. The sooner you start, the better your chances of getting your files back.
