Accidentally emptied out trash with files I need

So i was deleting some files to clear up some more storage space and I went to empty the trash but I failed to realize that there were some files that I really need. I deleted them about 2 days ago and have tried desperately to get them back by downloading softwares such as stellar and disk drill but none of them seem to work. Is there any way to retrieve them?

Yeah yours has an SSD (flash storage). You can verify this by going to the Apple Menu and choosing "About this Mac". Choose the Storage tab and underneath the drive icon it should say "Flash Storage".
