Extract OGG Files

“I connected my external device to Windows system to transfer few OGG files from it. As I was moving files, my desktop suddenly switched off due to unknown reason. When I restarted it, I could not find my audio files on Windows system. All audio files were of .ogg file type. I need those lost song files back. Is there any solution to recover .ogg files from Windows operating system? Please need quick reply!!!”
