Deleted administrator user. Not getting my personal data

Question

I recently installed Ubuntu 15.04. But I deleted the administrator user by mistake, and now I cannot get my personal files. What happened to my personal files? Are they there or are they removed from the disk? If they are there then please help me to recover them.

What do you mean by administrator user ? is it a normal user with sudo privelege or what ? what is your username ? — heemayl, Jul 02 '15 at 18:25
How did you remove the user i mean what command have you used ? — heemayl, Jul 03 '15 at 19:44
There should be a prompt Do you want to keep test's files? what did you select then ? Delete files or Keep files ? — heemayl, Jul 03 '15 at 20:05

if you deleted your own user then your data is probably gone. You could try first to see under /home if there is a directory with your former username, or try something like How to recover deleted files?
