Restoring deleted files

I have accidentally deleted some very important files from my Mac.(at the same time from desktop, icloud and recycling bin)

Is there any way I can restore them?

When I try to recover them from Icloud.com It says it's restoring files but the wheel spins, then a few minutes later there's a message: "the files could not be restored. Try again later."

Thank you in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

If you emptied the trash, no. Those files are gone. You can restore from your Time Machine (or similar) backup.
