I was using my hard drive to transfer some files on to my laptop, the files succesfully transfered, but I then pulled the usb out by mistake and now all my files have been wiped. Is there a way to retrieve my files?

Disable "write cache" on the external hard drive (In Device manager).
Try some data recovery software.
