find recovered deleted files imac

Is there a 3rd party software that can recover deleted files? I accidentally deleted files, and emptied the trash. I found those files on icloud.com and "recovered" them all...icloud.com said it was complete. Only 10% of the files came back to my desktop, and then everything stopped. The time frame from deletion to icloud recovery was about 2 hours. It has now been about 10 hours, and still only 10% of the files came back, nothing new has showed up. And nothing shows up on any of my devices, or when I log into icloud today. It's like the other 90% of the recovered files just disappeared. Help me please! I spent two hours on the phone with apple support exploring all their options with no luck. If icloud said they were recovered, then where did they go?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

As I understand it, transfers from iCloud do take a very long time for some reason. Yes, there is software which can recover deleted files but it is laborious to use and some files can only be partially recovered if they have been partially overwritten. Other files may have been overwritten and cannot be recovered. Do you have a backup? if so, it is your solution. If not, then you now know what needs to be done.
