I would also suggest running chkdsk on that file system, just in case it recovers data, or at least repairs corruption resulting from the unclean shutdown that occurred shortly after you deleted the directory.

I made a mistake and accidentally deleted my download directory in my user profile, this is on a win10 pro 64 machine. The download folder was highlighted and I hit delete, I wanted to delete another folder not downloads so I realized I was on the wrong folder, hit tab to no or what I thought was no and hit enter, as I did my machine shut down. It's having a heating problem that I'm going to partially address today and fully address with a new case. On reboot I found that download directory was gone. I need to get it back. It's been quite a while since I've had to do this, help! Any help appreciated. Thanks.
