I think it would be too late for that now, shortly after you delete entities the asynchronous service comes along and deletes the data at the system's convenience if the deleted flag is set in the database for that record.
I still think restoring your database is a better option.
If you want to check for the data in the tables because, hey, maybe the async services was down already for some reason you can or maybe something went wrong and it hasn't deleted the data. Here is what you would do.
1. Go into service manager in Windows Server on your CRM server, you should be able to find "services" in adminstrative tools within control panel.
2. Look for "Microsoft CRM Asynchronous Processing Service", right click and stop it.
3. Use Sql Server Management Studio to access your CRM org database as SA {orgname}_MSCRM and just look at the {entity}base (I.E... accountbase for account entity records) tables to see if you can see any data that could still be left behind.
I recommend backing up the org database anyhow before you start any poking around in the base tables as you can do a lot of damage if you accidently edit something.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

If I understand well your question, CRM 4.0, as its predecesor 3.0 does not delete records when you hit delete option on web interface. It marks records to delete setting deletionstatecode = 2. After this, an async process deletes from database those records marked with deletionstatecode = 2. If this process still have not deleted your records you can recover them setting deletionstatecode = 0. But, if your records have been deleted by async process, I guess you couldn't restore it easyly.
Hope this help.

That is correct, shut down async and hope they are still there.
Otherwise does the database have a backup plan set up? You could restore the org database to get the data back.

The deleted records will probably not be complete, however. Some fields are cleared immediately when a record is deleted from CRM. It is usually not possible to completely recover a deleted CRM record.

But the database can still be restored if it was on a backup plan. That would be the best option.
