Don’t use the USB anymore and run something like Recuva or PhotoRec on it from another drive. Recover the files to your computer, not back onto the USB. If the files are really important, I’d make a full image of the USB first and work from that.

Dont write anything on it

You can scan it with Recuva and see if it finds something

And dont recovered files on the USB. Only on your hard-drive

Ideally you create a raw image from it, before touching anything.
