Authoritative restore is for restoring Active Directory. You need to restore the files from backup.
If you have AD perhaps this will help

If this is not a ad server and unless you also deleted the user folder their data is still there. Just deleting the user doesn't delete their home folder. Have you logged in as admin and looked under documents and settings?
Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

Was the account removed, including the profile? Were the files stored under the users profile? Was there a backup done locally? A little more information would be good.
