Ctrl + z would undo your last action. So if that last action was of "Copy/Cut + Paste" some files, they would be gone from that folder and back to where they originally were.

Are you saying they are gone from the original folder, too?

If you copy them they are completely gone after a Ctrl + Z.

You can use a shadow copy backup.
