Don’t do anything do you have norton utils? If yes use it and you should be able to save your files…

The most crucial thing is to not write anything new to the drive including things like: downloading files from the net (including demo’s of utilities), copying files, saving new files to the hard drive you are trying to recover files from.
Since you are using OS I would suggest using
Micromat’s Techtool Pro 4

Prosoft’s Data Rescue II
https://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.phpI have had success with both, but the recovery process is a bit different than it was back in the OS9/Norton Utilities days as often times the names of files are not preserved when you recover files. Also, FYI – Norton Utilities or Norton System Works is apparently no longer supported by Symantec.
Hope this helps,

Oh BTW, each of the apps I mentioned in the previous post require a significant amount of time to scan the drive so be prepared to wait a while.
