Extract Music Files from PS3 Hard Drive

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.

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!!!
