Recover deleted data after bad syncing

I did rclone sync -u -P -l --fast-list gdrivefolder: /mount/drive/my_folder when I should have had my local folder first and the remote folder after. Because the google drive folder was empty, now my local folder looks empty. I unmonted the drive and tried with extundelete but no luck so far. I know I should have use the --dry-run option…
