Deleted files how to recover

Last night I was deleting things of my work iPad and got rid of a lot of files but didn't think that as they were on my iPad they would be deleted from my Mac as well. Shock and more Shock when I went to get some folders for work the next day and they have all gone from my Mac. (Dum ***)

Is there a way that I can get them back from iCloud or have I lost them for good ? Have looked on iCloud In the bin but can't find anything.

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.15

Be very careful with the Photos and iDrive check boxes. Photos and iDrive are largely for syncing, not backing up. They produce quite a few consequences that are not intended by users.
