You don't say what type of laptop you have - Microsoft or Mac. Also, have you got a backup ?

The files will still be there on your hard drive but are likely to be split up into segments. I think it's possible to attempt a retrieval but it would need a real specialist to do it.

If you've not backed up your files, that might be the only way of trying to get at them again. One of the 'techie' members might know a way but....  if there are no pointers to the files , this will be virtually impossible and the longer the time since you have deleted them, the more likely that they will be overwritten by newer info..

Sorry,  it really  is essential that precious /important files are regularly backed up.

I'll ask a Mod to put this query on the tech board so that the specialists are more likely to see it.

Check your recycle bin.  Deleted pictures are usual put in there. If they are you can put them back where they belong. If not you would have to try a specialist programme to recover them. Lets us
know the result. Also are you on Onedrive if so your pics will have been saved to cloud.

Tomkin - the OP has said that he's deleted the 'delete box' also.

  Ah! sorry I've not heard it called the delete box before.  I have several programmes on my
computer which recover deleted photos but I've had limited success with them.

Software helps to recover deleted files from Hard Disk Drives formatted under NTFS.
Tool can recover deleted files if subsequent operations with the disk didn't rewrite last one.

For start recovery please press <Next> button.
 
       From:-  https://recoverytoolbox.com/like.html You want the freeware one at the bottom,
recover deleted files.

   This is a free programme . Read the blurb but use at your own risk. Can't remember if it was any good.   Other people might give a better solution.

raa - have you checked if the ones on  Ancestry  are still there. They should be. You should be able to copy them and reinstall on your laptop.
