Um, you can restore files because their images are still on the drive. That's the whole point behind file recovery software. Everyone makes a mistake now and then, it's human. We can all carry some optimism to the table.

If you hve deleted them completely from your computer, and you had not backed them up, then there is no way to get them back. When you learn how to use command line and delete commands, you also learn about being careful with how you type,because you are enacting commands which cannot be undone.
