Photo Recovery after Formatting

I created a folder and saved huge collection of music files on my PS3 hard drive. I thought of moving all these music files to desktop as my PS3 drive contained large number of files. When I connected my PS3 hard drive to system, antivirus application detected virus in it and warned me to delete them. I commanded to delete it, which otherwise would render great harm. Soon after deleting, several music files from my PS3 hard disk were lost. Now, is there any way to retrieve music files from PS3 hard drive? Thanks in advance!!!
