Without extraordinary measures, they are not deleted. Windows removed the index for a file, not the file itself. The data remains on the hard drive.
To some extent, this is true in most other operating systems as well.
You can get special programs which not only delete files but overwrite them with nonsense data. In some cases, they will even do this multiple times, making it next to impossible for even the most sophisticated tools to recover the deleted file.
No chance !... Once a file is deleted, the memory previously used by that file is marked as 'free' space. As you say, you've '...used it since the files were deleted...' - I can almost guarantee the deleted files will not be recoverable !

Deleted files may reappear after a restart due to several reasons, such as the use of backup software or file recovery tools that restore the deleted files automatically. Additionally, if the files were not permanently deleted and are still in the system's trash or recycle bin, they can be easily restored upon reboot. Another possibility is that the files are being recreated by applications or processes that rely on them.
