So once this time elapsed, you cannot recover the deleted items.

On viewing ‘Deleted Items’ folder, the Recover Deleted Items command on the Tools menu gets enabled by default. If you make some modifications in the registry, this command becomes available regardless of which Outlook folder you are viewing. Now if an item is emptied from the Deleted Items folder, click Deleted Items to use Recovered Deleted Items. All the items that have been deleted using Shift+Del key are available in this folder.
