Restoring files after having emptied trash bin?

[persiona]

Is this even possible on a mac using free software that will also recover/restore these files instead of only scanning your system?

I'm not sure about free software.

But what I can recommend you is to stop using you Mac, NOW!

If your using Time Machine you should be able to get them back.
