Go to https://www.icloud.com.

Log into your AppleID and click on the iCloud Drive icon.

At the bottom, right there should be a link to recently deleted items. See if you can recover them there.


If you are able to recover them, sign out of iCloud Drive on the old Mac before deleting anything else.
