https://askubuntu.com/questions/217606/undelete-files-on-ext4 lists some tools for undeleting files.
If that is "important data", why don't you have a backup?

See the man pages for extundelete.
You will probably need the option "--restore-file GK" or something like that.

Can you help with this problem?
