What should I do if I accidentally deleted a file with the xlsx.gsheet extension?

Question

Google Drive

Hello.
In the course of using Google Drive, it became necessary to delete all files on the server and re-upload them there. I downloaded all the files from the site to my hard drive and deleted them to Google Drive by emptying the recycle bin. Among them were several extremely important xlsx.gsheet files. When transferring from the hard drive to Google Drive, it turned out that files with this extension turn out to be just links to the file, and when I try to open them now, a 404 error occurs.
Is there a way to restore these files or have I completely lost them?

Your last synced copy is still on Google's servers for a while - everything is not deleted instantly. Try to restore files with this instruction https://gdriveru.blogspot.com/2017/05/restorefiles.html There have been no misses yet, and the number of recoveries has long ceased to be counted.
