Recovery of deleted data in resetting Ubuntu?
I have reset my Ubuntu 17.04 recently by using application Resetter
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/reset-ubuntu-desktop-default-settings but I don't know it leads to delete all files and stuff present in my laptop. Those files are really important for me.
Is there any way to recover that data?
That data is very important for me. If it is possible please help me out.
I have also tried to recover file using Test Disk
by seeing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnNefxLydV8.
By that only some folders recovered but all folders are empty.
Please help me!

@PiyushMittal, the omgubuntu article you read is really outdated because it's based on its beta version wile there's a newer stable version. The auto reset option that you've used clearly stated that it will completely remove your home directory. Also the stable version of resetter has way more feature than the one you read at omg ubuntu. You most likely didn't read the warning message before you clicked the ok button. You should've read: github.com/gaining/resetter instead

If you are sure, the files were deleted, you can try to recover them: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
I would recommend scalpel or foremost.
IMPORTANT: don't install new software or don't download new files before restoring your data.
