Windows 10: deletion of dump files

Opened up my C drive to find a lengthy list of files which I didn't really think about, and should have because some of them were extremely large.Anyway long story short total brain fade and deleted the lot to find all my documents, pictures and music are gone. I do need to etrieve these rather badly, any suggestios?

Hi KreeperKing

Yes, you can just delete the Dump Files, you may need to provide permission

You will find the dump files in C:\Windows and in C:\Windows\MiniDump

However, the most successful way to remove all dump files is:
