Recovery after faulty sudo rm -rf functionality in Terminal

I was having issues with OneDrive, where an old folder is unable to be deleted.

I looked online at various options, none of them helped.

One of the last things I tried before giving up and simply living with the problem, was using the following command in terminal from the location jay@Jays-MacBook-Pro ~ % :

sudo rm -rf /Users/jay/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-SharedLibraries-Company/Collaborative Projects 2024 - Documents

The 2 parts:

sudo rm -rf (now realizing this is an incredibly destructive deletion function)

/Users/jay/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-SharedLibraries-Company/Collaborative Projects 2024 - Documents (this was the folder that wouldn't delete, and still isn't after this command).

I soon found out that the folder I wanted removed, was not removed, but that my Documents under my user folder was completely wiped out instead.

I want to understand why this occurred on my Documents folders and not the folder in the directory path I put in. I don't even know the extent of the damages this has done and am baffled this is possible.

I have tried using several softwares to recover the files, but it doesn't even show up as having ever existed on my system, and it was only 1 day ago!

Can someone please provide any additional assistance that could help me recover these files, I am at a loss for words and deeply upset about this occurrence.

And if not, is there any way to find out what all got deleted so I can do my best to piece it back together again from emails and hopefully past backups.

I do not have Time Machine.

I work on the cloud, but this folder is not linked with my iCloud or OneDrive.

I recently upgraded my OS to the latest one, but am unable to find a recovery point.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If anyone suspects the damages is even larger than I thought, please let me know that as well.

Thanks in advance.
