If this is actually a hard disk and not an SSD, and if the hard disk was taken offline immediately, a third-party data recovery service might be able to recover some of the deleted data. Recovery is not certain, and you will get billed.
It sounds like you may be using desktop and documents in the cloud.
If that's the case, log into your account from a browser at iCloud.com
Open the iCloud Drive web app and go to the recently deleted folder. You may be able to recover them from there.
