If you accidentally deleted some records or tables from a database, you should first avoid any further actions that might overwrite the deleted data. Then, follow these steps:

Check Database Backups: This is the easiest and safest method in data recovery if just in case you have backups on hand.
Transaction Log Recovery: If backups are not available, you have to use the transaction log to restore deleted records or tables. Some SQ databases maintain a record of all activities, this comes in handy during cases when some entries may have been deleted by a mistake.
Use a Database Repair Tool: Some of the tools like MigrateEmails SQL Database Repair Tool can assist in retrieving lost records from affected databases. This tool effectively fixes damaged MDF and NDF files and restores different objects within a database such as tables, triggers, or stored procedures. That also lets preview deleted records and save the retrieved data in one of the more options such as CSV or Excel.
Consult a Database Administrator: However, if the situation is fatal and you do not know how to recover it, it is advisable to seek professional help to reduce average impacts.
