that was logged during the time of  generating address while transferring funds to the cold storage wallet , i have been working on some python code to see if i can use this to get the private key and get my funds out , if anybody has any info , please help!
If there were any way to use this info to access your funds, the whole idea of an offline cold storage would be worthless.

Unfortunately, unless you have a paper backup or another digital backup, there is no way to recover, except if you can undelete the file on your offline computer. 

Assuming you have not used it since you deleted the wallet, it might be possible to recover the wallet file from the harddisk/SSD, but it probably requires specialist knowledge (professional data recovery services are not cheap!), and is far from certain to work.
