I hope others will help you with ways to recover your files, but I want to
advise you first of all to stop using the hard drive you deleted them from
immediately - the more you continue to use it, the more the system will
overwrite the space that those files formerly occupied.

Unfortunately, I don't think a journaling file system is any more likely to
offer easy recovery.
