The journal only contains in flight transactional metadata for recovery purposes after a system crash or power loss, to prevent filesystem, i.e. metadata, corruption. The journal does not contain file data. During normal operation, once the metadata has been written into an allocation group the transactional entry in the journal is removed. Thus, recovering deleted files has nothing to do with the journal.
