Sounds like you are using blockchain.info. Did you use a mail address when you signed up? If so you could contact their support. You should have also gotten backups via mail.

I assume from your use of a secret phrase and paper wallets you are using Electrum, Armory, or Blockchain.info? In short without the phrase to reconstitute the private key, or private key itself you don't really have any reasonable options if you reformatted already unless it's Blockchain.info and you supplied the backup info they request.

Formating is rarely deleting data. Even deleting is not deleting data for most modern OS. Data recovery is costly if done by a professional or cumbersomeif done on your own though.

1-Stop using that hard drive.
2-Get an external HDD case.
3-Put the HDD into the case and connect to a computer with large amount of space available.
4-Download getdataback.
5-Assuming its finding "formated" files browse to Users/user/AppData/bitcoin/
   Electrum: Users/AppData/Roaming/Electrum/wallets
   Linux: /root/.bitcoin
6-Copy wallet.dat (Electrum: default_wallet) to your current OS.
   (if getdataback is trial you cant copy but you can view the file, select all and create a new file with this content, this will work if its an electrum wallet if its bitcoin you need to somehow copy the hex data instead of the ascii and use eg HxD to generate ascii from hex).
7-Go to the same folder, windows/linux/electrum, and backup your current wallet.
8-Paste the recovered wallet in there and run bitcoin-qt/electrum.
9-If the data is not corrupted your done.

EDIT: Just noticed this was a blockchain.info wallet so I guess it doesn't apply but ill keep the answer here so it can help others
