Any chance you have is a) stop using that disk now b) boot from a recovery CD and c) follow instruction in the duplicate link or search for "linux rescue disk" Good luck (and use this experience to learn to do backups.) – Rmano Mar 19 '14 at 15:09

Maybe this link can help you. Basically you need to install one or more data recovery programs in a terminal or with Synaptic Package Manager, The programs are testdisk, scalpel and/or foremost. Code:
sudo apt-get install testdisk scalpel foremost
Use the detailed instructions from the provided link to learn how to recover your lost/deleted data.
