I assume you use Windows.
File locations are stored in a kind of a "table of contents". When you delete a file, Windows will remove it from the table of contents and mark the disk space where the file is stored as free. But, unless another program writes to that place on the disk, the file content will still be there. The trick is reading that content. I believe Norton has a tool that allows you to do that, but you may also be able to find some free tools.

and check out Restoration ver. 2.5
RESTORATION: File Recovery Freeware by Brian Kato
Restoration is a freeware program by Brian Kato that restores deleted files no longer in the Recycle Bin. The good news is that it works not only on Windows 9x versions, but also on Windows NT, 2000, and XP — even in NTFS! It fits neatly on a floppy, since it is only 406 KB in size (and the Windows 2000/XP version is less than half that size), but you can also run it from your hard drive. I recommend you be prepared to use either option.
For All-9x/All-NT. Restore deleted files that are no longer in the Recycle Bin! When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren’t immediately destroyed. Its hard drive space is made available for use, but until that space is overwritten, your old data is usually intact. Restoration by Brian Kato recovers such files on either FAT or NTFS partitions. Only 406 KB (or 200 KB for XP or 2K), it fits easily on a floppy, or runs from your hard drive. Generally, the sooner you try to restore a file, the more successful you’ll be.

I would make use of a data recovery program. I have been using StompSoft's "Recover Lost Data" to help me recover files that I have inadvertently deleted with a good amount to of success. I will reiterate that the sooner you perform your recovery the better.

If you have an undelete program, run it immediately and it will undelete the files. If not, but the time you can find one, download it and run it, the old files will probably be overwritten (probably by the undelete program installing).
But you should still get one installed for next time.
