Good evening,
I used version 10.2
I synced 2 NAS.
The NAS (old data) has updated the NAS (new data).
I can't find deleted files.
How do I recover deleted files?
New data overwritten with old data.

As far as FreeFileSync (FFS) is concerned that depends on the "Delete Files" option you selected in the Synchronization settings (F8).
The Recycle Bin setting normally only works for local files, not for e remote location, like a NAS.
The Permanent setting for sure does not retain a copy of deleted files.
So most likely, only if you selected Versioning FFS retained a copy of the deleted files. You should then be able to find those in the Versioning location you specified.
Fully unrelated to FFS:
Depending on your NASs and your NAS setting, the NAS may have kept a copy of the deleted file.
Some NASs (e.g. Synology, but others may also) have the option to enable or disable a Recycle Bin on a per share basis. So, if you have such a NAS and have enabled the Recycle Bin option for the share(s) that contained the deleted files, you should be able to find the deleted files in the NAS's Recycle Bin.
