The default files inside your home folder will be re-created when you log in again. Do not do that since it might make it impossible to recover your personal data.
As for your personal documents: preferred method would be to restore those from a backup. If you do not have any you will need to rely on software like testdisk to find those files. Topics on recovering data:
- How to recover deleted files? (Using scalpel)
- data recovery with testdisk (Using testdisk)
- General wiki page on data recovery.
Recovery tools work best if you did nothing with the space the deleted files occupied on disk.
