Q: Data recovery after automator overwrote my desktop

Hi there! Yesterday I was trying to automate a couple of tasks. I'm apartment hunting so I wanted to download all images from a certain pages. To do so, I selected the task "SAVE IMAGENS FROM WEB CONTENT" on automator. I use the following set up:

 

- Save images on folder: "XXX"

- Use URL as folder's name: "unselected"

- Where: "Desktop"

- Overwrite existing folder "unselected"

 

** I've roughly translated the fields, I don't know if in english they're called this way

 

- I'm using a Macbook Air, running Mavericks!

 

To my surprise, when I ran the workflow the first time, it ERASED all my desktop (there weren't many important things, EXPECT FOR 1 freakin file) and kept the newly created folder "XXX".

 

 

Is there any chance I can get all my previous files back??

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
