How can I recover files from my USB?

Question

I was organizing my files on the USB and the computer, when I came upon an issue. In order to fix it, I turned off the computer and booted into safe mode...with the USB still attached. Only then did I realize that it would completely clear all data and settings on my USB memory stick!
There doesn't seem to be any trace of my files on the computer. I've looked for them using Search, and in some Recent folders, but still nothing.
The computer I'm using is a Dell with Pentium 4 inside running on Windows XP. The USB memory stick is a CoreMicro 4G.
So how can I get all my files back?

Your help is really appreciated!

I am a little confused by your question,probably old age on my part.

First booting into Safe Mode should not have affected your USB memory stick.

These file that are missing ,,should they be on the memory stick or p.c.

someone is mentioning data recovery software we might have to go down that route possibly

If we do there are a few reasonable free ones available Recuva being one of them.
