Commercial software, available to consumers, that "claims" to be able to do this generally runs around US $100.

"Time machine" is a built-in backup tool that works with your Mac and an external drive, As the problem you described, I read it. The files deleted in Trash bin could be a different problem which Time machine can't solve. you can read this article and learn more. I hope it will help.

If you don't have a Time Machine backup yet, then your best option would probably be Data Recovery for mac software
