How to Recover DCIM Files?

“I had to transfer some pictures from my memory card to backup drive that is present on my system. I inserted my SD card in to the system with help of card reader. After sometime I noticed that the Backup drive was running low on space, so I planned to delete some of the files from my SD card. I selected DCIM folder from memory card which had large number of files, without thinking twice I deleted DCIM files. Later I realized that some of the important photos were also removed from the DCIM folder. What should I do now? Is there any way in which I can get back files saved in DCIM folder. Thanks!”
