You would get better response by posting your question on graphic forums such as Bleeping Computer and Photo Forum.

Eraser 5.7

Did you try erasing them using Recuva? Right click them and Secure Overwrite Highlighted / Checked.

If you can't find the two zip files I presume they have been erased. You may also try Recuva to see if you can retrieve and use the contents.
