Hi,
Without a backup there is not really any way to recover or list the deleted files, once you delete files in Unix/Linux recovery is very difficult. I have had some luck with both "photorec" and "testdisk", but the system was not usable for a number of weeks while the recovery was ongoing.
Also I would say to you that if any new files have been created, it is almost certain that there have been a number of "inodes" and "data areas" over written.
Regards

NAME
recover - recover a deleted file
SYNOPSIS
recover [device] [options]
OPTIONS
-h, --help prints help
-a, --all no filtering; dump all deleted inodes
DESCRIPTION
recover recovers a file which matches some ext2 - info about the deleted inode by getting all the deleted inodes and filtering them. It's
based upon the Ext2Undeletion-howto by Aaron Crane. Using this utility, your chances to recover a lost file should increase a lot.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DELETED FILE
o Hard disk device name
o Year of deletion
o Month of deletion
o Weekday of deletion
o First/Last possible day of month
o Min/Max possible file size
o Min/Max possible deletion hour
o Min/Max possible deletion minute
o User ID of the deleted file
o A text string the file included (can be ignored)
BUGS
Please note that recover does not work with ext3 filesystems, it is strictly ext2-only. For further information on this, please read
/usr/share/doc/recover/README.ext2only
WARRANTY
There is no warranty.
