Is it possible to recover my deleted files in Mac OS X (after I emptied the trash also)? In Windows I can recover the deleted files using file recovery software. What options are available in Mac OS X?

There's a nice guide here-- that walks you through the steps of recovering "deleted" files in OS X (using freeware).
Keep in mind that until you recover the files in question, you want to minimize writes to the disk as they can potentially overwrite the deleted files.

The software in the squidoo page that @tj111 recommended needs money to pay for the last recovery step. See this blog article for truly free Mac data recovery programs.

2I would add a hint for the next time: after recovering your files you might consider some backup solutions. – Matteo – 2012-03-04T11:04:03.903

Note the link has since gone dead, but there are snapshots available from the Wayback Machine, such as this one from May 2010.
