DCIM file accidentally deleted from SD card

Hello,
I had 2 DCIM folders on an SD card (SDHC: G), one from 2013 and one from 2019.
The file manager told me that the one from 2013 was empty, so I wanted to delete it.
But when I requested the deletion, I was informed that over 2000 items were deleted.
I wanted to recover what was mistakenly deleted, but there was no trace in the recycle bin of files from G.
How can I recover the lost photos?

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 69.0

      Hello, Thank you for the response.
      I tried using "recuva," and there was a recovery of the photos from the directory, but their names have been changed, and I can only fully read 3 of them, 2 partially, and all 654 others are unreadable.

      For the illegible photos, I get the following error message: "It seems that we do not support this file format."
      Why is it only not working for 2 photos out of 259, who knows!
      I tried another tool "PC Inspector File Recovery," but it's even worse; I get the same error message, and none of the photos are readable.

      but their name has been changed: it's normal
      the files being deleted their recovery is random
      try "EaseUS Data Recovery"

      I tried "EaseUS Data Recovery", but I don't know if I used it correctly; it only recovered the photos that were in the recycle bin.
      I uninstalled it.
      However, I can't uninstall "PC Inspector File Recovery", this program is not in the list of applications. Is there another way to uninstall a program?
