How is it possible that she deleted all files and that the /dbf are
completely gone??

The .shx file is essential to combine geometry and attribute table data.

If the .dbf has been moved or overwritten, it would not land in the Windows bin.

There are shapefile recovery tools linked in http://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000007161 which can recover the geometry at least.

If that fails, you would have to rely on backups (which you should make frequently on important data).
