I removed the wrong user with all of his content.
Is there any way to restore it?

You could ask your host if they have a backup available.
Most hosts take scheduled backups, regardless of whether they tell you they do or not.

You should probably start keeping backups mate.
 
Do you men you deleted someone elses site from your hosting?
Did you have back ups in place, if that is the case?
 
In WP when you removing a user, there is option if you want to remove all content asociated with the user. To answer the question, your only options is to ask host for a backup.

He did delete the user in WP and instead of stating that he wants to allocate the user's content to XXX he did not check that and deleted it all.

Did you just simply check in trash if maybe it is still there?

Then as suggested , and hopefully you have a host that does, ask for a backup...
If not, lesson learned for next time you can use Backup buddy (or similar) to send backup offsite to google drive in the event something happens
 
You can try looking at the trash section of the post and see whether the articles are still there or not.
Otherwise, the only way to get those retrieved would be to fallback to a previous snapshot of the WP database and recover from there.
Else, if they are already deleted, I think those info will not be even on the DB anymore, thus not recoverable.
 
Have had excellent experience with namecheap as well. Glad you solved it.
 
Yes, approah your web host support. They may have a backup of your site. All good hosts backup their files... even budget hosts do it.
