What did you actually do? Without knowing exactly what you did, I can't give
you specific advice. If you put them into your Recycle Bin and then emptied
the Bin, you can use some of the data recovery software linked below. If
you moved (instead of copied) the files across the network and then had a
problem and the files "disappeared", you can run data recovery software on
the computer that originally hosted the files. After you get this sorted,
consider putting a backup strategy into effect to prevent this sort of
mistake in the future. Here is my standard cut/paste information about data
recovery software:

DO NOTHING FURTHER ON THE DRIVE. The data is still on the hard drive but if
you overwrite it, it will be extremely difficult or impossible to recover
it. If you use data recovery software, install it on another machine and
either use it from that operating system or create a bootable cd/floppy and
work with that. If you don't have the skill and/or equipment to do these
procedures and the data is crucial, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop that has experience in doing data recovery. This will
not be your local version of BigStoreUSA. In-shop data recovery is usually
not exactly cheap (for ex., my charges are generally $150-350USD), but it
normally costs less than sending the drive to a company like Drive Savers.
You need to make the determination of the value of your data and decide
what to do.
