Restoring missing files from desktop and documents

I deleted my desktop and documents from my macbook and have tried to recover from icloud only to find there is a bunch of stuff missing. I have been getting messages for a bit that my icloud account was full so I thought I would just stop it and keep everything saved on my macbook - didn't realise that it deletes what is on your computer and you need to restore from what is in icloud.

I am just wondering if there is any way to get back my desktop and documents folders and files?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.13
