Need Help finding deleted folders/files

I screwed up....Sync all "briefcases" by accident and then
delete all info in them. BUT...All info went to Recycle
bin, so I tried to do a "Restore files to previous
location" and lost good portion of them. Are they still
there but hidden or did I lose them forever? Also, some of
my desktop icons have no linked address to activate them
when clicked on since I did this. They have a little
green and while square on them. I haven't saved or turn
off my computer since the screw up. Hopefully someone can
help me...
