Hello Jmatt1991,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with deleted files. I will be happy to offer some options.

Does your computer still boot? If so, I recommend backing up your computer and data first: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support

Then, once you complete getting your backup, I recommend reinstalling macOS from Recovery: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support

Thanks and have a wonderful day.
