Update: As of July 31, 2020, Data Recovery service has been retired and no longer available as a service. So now we don't have any way to get deleted records unless we have some backups.

Data Recovery Retirement

I don't think that's possible without Salesforce support. You need to contact them and they will charge you some amount and maybe then you will get your records back.

As per Salesforce docs

Because of the manual intervention, there is a cost. The cost is relative to the amount of manual work and time needed to perform the recovery. The price for this service is a flat rate of $US 10,000 (Ten Thousand US Dollars) for the one Organization that's being recovered. The work involved actually costs us much more than that, but we pay for a portion of the service.

A Data Recovery is only an option after you have exhausted all other reasonable efforts to recover the data, such as restoring from the recycle bin, reinserting the data from a .CSV backup or querying the API for IsDeleted records. If you're interested in the Data Recovery process please log a Support case stating that you would like to learn more about the data recovery process.

[SalesForce] How to permanently delete a record whose isdeleted=”true”

The system doesn't immediately purge deleted records once you empty the Recycle Bin. Instead, they're flagged for purging, which runs periodically in the background. Your record will be gone after the next sweep. I do not remember the exact time frame for this process, but it's definitely ~~within 24 hours~~ going to happen at some point. See this knowledge article for details:

Record data has 3 stages of deletion:

Stage 1 - Deleted to Recycle Bin - Data in this stage can still be recovered from the recycle bin. This can also be referred to as soft deleted.

Stage 2 - Emptied from the Recycle Bin or hard deleted - Data in this stage cannot be recovered from the recycle bin but can be accessed and exported from the API using Export All (queryall) in DataLoader v21 and higher or other api tools. Records can also be put in this state directly by using the hard delete option in the Data Loader.

Stage 3 - Physically/Permanently deleted - Data in this stage has been wiped from database and only recoverable by contacting Salesforce to request a Data Recovery Service (fee associated). Please click here to learn more about the Data Recovery Process.

[SalesForce] Retrieving data from recycle bin

You can delete records from the recycle bin by using the Database.emptyRecycleBin method:

Database.emptyRecycleBin([
    SELECT Id FROM Candidate__c WHERE Id = 'a012800000Gs7IG' ALL ROWS
]);

If your record is still in the recycle bin after calling the above, you should open a ticket with support. You can also hard delete via the Bulk API if you enable it as an option.
