I accidentally deleted all my data. How do i get it back?

When i got my new computer, I deleted all the information on my old computer so my wife could use it. I didn't know that when your information is connected to the cloud it automatically deletes all the information off the other computers that are connected to the cloud. Incidentally I deleted 8 years of notes and work, etc. Can you help me get it back!?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

You might be able to recover some of the data. Try going to iCloud.com/iCloud Drive using a computer browser and click on Recently Deleted at the bottom right. Then try iCloud.com/Account Settings using a computer browser and go to Advanced at the bottom left. Access Restore Files.
