What to Do If Fail to Recover Deleted Files From iCloud Drive?

I want to change my old Mac to a new one, so I tried to clean up the files in the old one. But I accidentally deleted all the files stored in iCloud Drive and my Mac. When I tried to restore them in iCloud Drive, it said "Searching for recoverable files" and gave me the number of files as it began to retrieve. Then it stops after a while and says "There was a problem loading restorable files. Please try again later." Obviously, I hope that somehow I can get them back, so is anyone can help?
