after you empty the trash, those files are gone. you can use your Time Machine, or another form of backup to recover those files. if you don't have a backup, you likely will never see those files again.

you could try a data recovery company, but if your Mac is 100% flash storage, even those companies may not be able to help you.

if you have no backup, then you may need to use this situation as a hard lesson learned on why it is important to keep a backup of any data you don't want to lose. sorry.
