Data Recovery!

When I removed iCloud from my MacBook, all the files which were not uploaded to the iCloud Drive (only 5GB) got deleted as well. To make things worse, I discovered that I had zero time machine backups since the option had not been turned on for some time. Is there anything I can do to get back my lost files?


Basically all my files were either in desktop and documents, exceeding 10-12 GB whereas I had only 5 GB free iCloud storage. So when I decided to remove iCloud from the Mac, it decided to delete all documents and desktop files, instead of only the ones uploaded to iCloud.


I had only recently updated system os from 11.2 to 11.4, so is there any possibility that apple can go back to the previous date without time machine backups?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4
