How to recover deleted desktop files

I got a new macbook pro today and all desktop files on my old macbook air were transferred to the new macbook. Since I did not want them on my new macbook, I deleted them all and emptied trash on my new macbook. However, I found out that all desktop files disappeared on my old macbook as well. I wonder if there is any way I can recover them all. Thanks!

If you directly moved files from iCloud.com to the bin of Mac and emptied they are gone forever .

If files are in recently deleted folder see the section - How do I get back files that I deleted?
