Short answer is NO
Longer answer is that possibly it might still be recoverable IF (and only if) that part of the disk hasnt been written to again as deleting only invalidates the file header, it doesnt actually physically overwrite the data.
How long ago did you delete it?

deleted them about 2 weeks go, can't d/load anything as my computers fooked and won't let me!!
presume it has a virus or something it just says it can't d/load I also can't watch you tube and google videos , wanted the files back before I take the computer down to my local computer fixit place to get it upgraded and clean install done.

you can recover files on a hard drive even if the hard drive has been formatted. I know because i done it today on a drive that has been formatted twice and had another OS installed on it afterwards.
file scavenger was the app i used.

Well thats based on the older DOS based ones i used many years ago when i had jobs that involved that sort of stuff, but these days file recovery would just consist at shouting at someone else to get them to do it so i dont know if the techniques have changed since
