It all depends on if the file's data have been overwritten or not. We have no
tools to undelete files, but there are a few tools on the market for that.

I've successfully used this tool in the past: https://www.ufsexplorer.com

But I am by no means associated with them, and I have no responsibility to
whatever happens to your data.

I know about other tools too, but I have no experience with them.
