Windows 10: Applications and files are missing afte installing a torrent game

Hello, a few days ago I noticed that some one the apps and games on my desktop have turned into a white blank file and when I tried to open them it told me that the shortcut for it has been moved or deleted, which I didn't do, but for other apps it also told me that it is searching for it and I can browse myself to find it, but I did not. I then went to my Local Disk D and saw that the majority of apps were missing. The only thing that I think could have affected my PC is the installation of a torrent downloaded for a game which I immediately deleted, but it did not delete any more files with it. I have to mention that most of the apps that disappeared are cracked games online, although I can't imagine how they have something to do with that certain file.

Is there any way to find and recover my data?
