I know I messed up. This morning I was nonchalantly scrolling through my Samsung A53. So I got to device care, I optimised it and then I got to Files. I deleted some downloaded pics and the docs I wanted and then, last on the list in my documets folder (I guess!? It happened so fast), there were some files which seemed empty, I don't remeber their names but the date stuck on my mind: xx/xx/1979. So guess what I did. Yup, I deleted them.


Next I noticed that all my photos took with the camera were gone, gallery was empty. The ones received or downloaded are still there and so does anything else.  I don't have backup, I don't have a SD card, I recovered what was in the trash and also with a recovery software, I cleared cache. Photos are nowhere to be found and neither those unidentified files. The software got me back some files I suppose could be my photos but they're under 100b so can't open them to say for sure.
 
Is there something else I could do at this point? I've been reading for hours. I mean something that can bring back those unknown files? Or check for system corrupted/lost files? Or reinstall something (other than the whole phone). I think those can be the problem as my phone is kinda empty for not being my main phone, it was not a storage problem.
 
Thank you.

I mean, if they're not in the Samsung trash then I hate to say they are gone.
