Depends on how much disk space you have and whether or not you have had less than the amount of the folder on your hard drive since then. Honestly it would probably be best to search around the internet for the files, however theres a utility called "Restoration" that may help you. I'm not sure if it will do folders though

If you've deleted and then written data over it you're out of luck. Basically if you deleted then wrote anything (added new files) you're in trouble. That data fills in the gaps where your maps were.

It recovered the Map Archive and Gametoast folder, but it restores only the folders not what it is inside :funny2: . Have any other solutions, or that's definetly dead ?

If it just got the folders, then the stuff is probably gone. You can try exploring into the folders while in Restoration, but I'm not sure if you can even do that (I don't use it that much, the last time I used it was a year or so ago)
