URGENT: I accidentally deleted most of a directory that I need for school! (Entire Desktop)
I am not as familiar with PyCharm as I should be and assumed (stupidly) that hitting the delete button on an extra directory that I added would just take it off the icon. It's a program required by the class, so I did not know that I could run the risk of losing my files. Please help me get them back so I don't fail two of my classes.
I was able to go into local history and restore any .py files, but almost everything else was reverted with a file size of 0 bytes. I lost any files with the extensions: .docx, .pdf, .jpeg, etc. This includes various projects for my college classes and all of my resumes (stored inside of folders on my desktop).
A lot of the files that are yellow won't revert and are stuck at 0 bytes. Please, I'll do anything. I haven't had the money to buy backup storage, but I'm going to take out a bigger student loan next time so I can pay for it.
Please help me ASAP!

Unless you were using VCS, the Local History is the only option that can help. Since you already tried it, there is nothing PyCharm can do.
It's recommended to use VCS to avoid such issues. It's free and can probably replace the backup storage that you mentioned, especially if you push it to something like GitHub.
