We often make mistakes, although careful we are no one goes above it. "Sometimes surgeons remove the wrong kidney. Sometimes pilots fall asleep while flying a plane. Sometimes those files you thought you could delete... you needed!" (#Antropy).
If you've accidentally checked ☑ Skip the trash and permanently delete the files option when deleting a file or folder from your website, and your website host uses cPanel, then the chances are you can recover them back as cPanel automatically backs-up your files (but you don't know!).

Steps on How To Restore Permanently Deleted Files/Folders in cPanel
Step 1: Log in to your cPanel >> File Restoration.
Step 2: Navigate and Select the path your website is to hosted (E.g. public_html).
Step 3: From the path, select the folder of the website which you want to recover its files.
Step 4: Click on the file you want to recover.
Step 5: Choose your Recovery Version (depending on the time/date you uploaded the file) and click on Restore This Version.
Step 6: On the Restore From Backup prompt, click Restore. (If the file is existing already but you would like to restore a previous version, check ☑ Overwrite existing file, and click Restore).
Step 7: Once the Restore process is completed, you will be notified.
N.B: Files/Folders would be recovered back to the path they were before deleting. Thanks, Hope this Works!
