Immediately stop any work on/with your computer.
Download | purchase | acquire a file restoration utility and cross your fingers...
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html is one that is free.
I cannot vouch for it.
Good luck.

I am trying to recover 5 files that I had in Excel. I did not delete them,
but they have been deleted from my Documents and from the Recycle Bin. I did
not clean out the Recycle Bib, but it is empty. I should have been more
careful in back up the files.
