Some info on removing the ransomware here:

I don't think there's any way of recovering your data though unless it's backed up elsewhere.

This might be better:

In terms of recovering your data: https://howtoremove.guide/how-to-decrypt-ransomware/

But your chances of this are slim.

In future I suggest using cloud storage for important stuff
