When you accidentally deleted files on your MacBook, the files are not gone forever. It just marks the space the deleted files used to occupy can be used for new data. That is to say, you can recover files from the deleted files with data recovery software as long as the data haven't been overwritten. And since you don't have Time Machine backups, data recovery software could be the last resort to help you get important deleted files back.
