Accidentally a Google Drive deleted a folder owned by someone else

Safe to say, I'm a bit desperate since the folder had A LOT of important stuff in it.

A folder was shared with me by a classmate and within it was another big folder(that he created) full of files related to a project we're working on. I accidentally deleted the folder inside the project folder and pressed ctrl+z to undo it, but nothing happened. I've checked the Trash section and it's not there. I've checked everywhere in my Drive and I can't find it anymore. I open the parente-folder that housed the folder I deleted and it's still empty.

However, I've been able to find some loose files that I had created inside that shared folder I deleted. When I check the Activities tab, it gives me the following message: "Due to a change in a parent folder, access was restricted on an item."

Is there a way to recover that folder? Is it gone for good?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
