Linux Mint. Cinammon using Nemo. Need help restoring or copying "trash" files

Hi,
I accidentally moved some music files to the trash folder in linux Mint Cinammon.
the interesting thing is - I can play the songs, but God forbid I be able to rescue them from the trash in any way that I can see. I have tried to copy, cut / paste to another partition on the same drive, to my phone and to an external USB drive. "Restore" is not in the menu, as it sometimes is. It worked once but took FOREVER to move a few files. Every subsequent attempt and Nemo seems to freeze as the application indicator says it is trying to move the files but nothing happens.
I have another distro on the same computer, a Debian based one called MX Linux. I thought that rescuing these files from the trash in the Mint partition might be easier from the MX Linux installation, but I do not know how to find the "trash" folder ?
I would love to rescue these great music tracks but I am stuck. They are all led Zeppelin, Doors, Grateful Dead... would be a travesty....
