Swell. OK. what to do?
Stop using the drive. The more you use it the more of what the drive
thinks of as "free" will be used. And what's on that "free" space --
your lost data.
A tool such as DiskWarrior might be able to recover the deleted
files. Or Data Rescue.
Neither are inexpensive.
This is why we recommend using CarbonCopyCloner for making backups.
It's "incremental" backup setting has options that let you keep the
old files around. That way nothing is lost.
