I accidentally emptied my Recycle Bin once, and I needed to retrieve some important files. I used a recovery tool called Aisesoft Data Recovery for Windows, and it worked very well.
I followed this tutorial (works for me):

This software scans deeply and can recover many files that seemed to be permanently lost. If you have similar problems, I sincerely recommend trying it, which is really satisfactory.
When it comes to recovering permanently deleted files on Windows 11 using the Command Prompt, or where do permanently deleted files go after Recycle Bin on Windows 11? it can sound like a neat trick. But from my experience, it's not guaranteed to work. Just because you run these commands doesn't mean you're going to recover your files. If those files have already been overwritten by new data, they're pretty much toast. I've had occasions where I got my hopes up after typing in those commands, only to be greeted by disappointment.
Not everyone is comfortable navigating the Command Prompt. If you’re not tech-savvy, reading through all those commands can be intimidating. The last thing you want is a typo that messes up your system or makes things worse. I remember once trying to help a friend out with this and we ended up more confused than when we started. Not ideal!
- Your right. It can get really scary if you dont know what your doing.
