Default Instead of deleting recent docs I lost other files in a folder

In an effort to clear my recent docs, I placed the file as described below and clicked it, which cleared all my documents/files in the main folder except sub-folders which are luckily saved. Is there a way to
restore all of those cleared /deleted files. They are not showing in the recycle bin.
I saved it one one of folders of Slave Drive. Folder and its sub-directories are still intact, present but Individual files are lost in this folder.

My recent docs are still there and I can see/access all of them.


--
Open Notepad and copy/paste the following
into it:

@ECHO OFF
CD %USERPROFILE%\recent
ECHO y| DEL *.*
CD..
CLS
EXIT

Save the file as cleardocs.bat and place it in a
folder somewhere. Make a shortcut to it, and
in the properties of the shortcut, set to run
minimized -- you can place the shortcut anywhere
you like. Clicking on the shortcut will clear
the list automatically.

You would have to use recovery software to try and recover the lost files. Recuva is a good free one.
