If you have no backup, try ProSoft Data Rescue. If that won't get it
back, google for Drive Savers.

I thought there a few utilities that had but a singel claim to fame:
undeleting recently deleted (and trash-emptied) files and folders. No?

Thank you and have a nice day.

ProSoft Data Rescue is one such app. In free demo mode it will tell
you if it finds any data that is recoverable. You'll have to buy the
registration key if you want to actually get the data back.

As for free data recovery methods, none that I know of. Back in the OS
9 days there might have been a few. But the standard way to recover
lost data in OS X is to restore it from your backup.

Hopefully, you promptly unmounted the volume, preventing over-writing of the
data to be recovered.

If you kept writing (saving) to the external disk, you may well have
over-written what you wish to recover.

A data recovery application is in order here. Disk Warrior comes to mind

A data recovery service comes to mind, as well, depending on how important it
is that you recover your deleted data and how deep are your pockets. Good
luck.

DiskWarrior will *not* recover deleted files; it was never intended to.
The sole purpose of DW is to rebuild a disk directory.

Get out your backup and restore your files from your backup.

What? You don't have backups? Then you do not own your files--you're
just leasing them from Fate.
