Hello scratchii,
Depending on where exactly you deleted the files, you might check online to see if the files were removed from there as well: Recover deleted files on iCloud.com - Apple Support.
If the files were backed up to Time Machine, that may be another option: Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support.
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.

For the future: Files in iCloud are synced with your computer, not uploaded. If you delete them from one, they delete from the other. That is expected behavior.
recovering permanently deleted files
