Help! Accidentally deleted files from Recycling Bin on Windows 7, Need to recover them?

Hello, I accidentally deleted files from My Downloads, My Pictures and My Videos into the recycling bin. I didn't actually empty the recycling the bin. I acidentally deleted files from My Downloads and My Pictures first and then when I had deleted files from My Videos, the deleted files from the other two folders completely disappeared from the recycling bin as did some of the videos. I think it might have been because of the folders with videos I deleted had such a large file total that the recycling bin may have automatically deleted the other files in the recycling bin.

Can anyone tell me how to recover these files step by step because I really need them back?

I tried following this guide but when I get to the restoring previous version bit it says it is empty.

    When your files are deleted they are still in the hard disk to be recovered. You can recover them with softwares which are called Recovery Tools.

    1. Go to this site http://www.piriform.com/ and Find the software named " Recuva "

    2. Download and Install Recuva.

    3. After Installing it open it and Prepare your deleted files scan.

    4. Make sure you check " Enable Deep Scan".

    5. Then try to find the files you need in the list you get after the scan.

    This only Works the required files are not overwritten. Good Luck with it :)
