Files imported from SD card are gone after pressing Command Z?

This afternoon I was busy transferring files from my GoPro's SD card to my Macbook, after which they would naturally be deleted. It wasn't until after that that I unintentionally pressed Command + Z in the folder where the files were placed, erasing the contents from both my macbook folder and my sd card. Is there any chance of getting these files back?
