Hi,
The process of deleting an account is irreversible, but you may be able to
recover the files with an undelete utility. These are commonly available for
free, and work on the premise that the space the file formerly occupied has
not been overwritten with new data yet. Once that has occured, recovery
requires more extensive (and expensive) work with dedicated forensic tools
by someone who knows what they are doing.
This one here works quite well for basic file recovery:
