II accidentally deleted all my contacts on my pixel 6 phone. I have tried recovering them from Google contacts with no result. I can open Contacts.Google.com and use my contacts through that but it's not the same as using regular contacts. I have gone around so many circles trying to search out solutions to this problem on the Internet and none of them seem to work, My contacts are available on my PC and I don't know of a way to transfer them to the mobile phone
 
If they are available on the web version/PC, then the contacts should still be in your account. You can re-force a sync by either turning SYNC off on your phone for Contacts, or by removing the Google account and logging back in. Also, make sure that the Contacts app is properly set to display all contacts (or at least the ones from your Google account); you might have them hidden by accident.
 
How did you delete these contacts? Please be detailed, step by step, if you can.

Are you using the correct contacts app? Google Contacts and the manufacturer's contact app are just labeled Contacts. The Google app is white people on a blue background.

I guess it comes down to how you deleted all of your contacts. I cannot even think of a way to delete them all, or at least not all of them all at once, so recovery is very likely going to depend on how you performed this action.

As a last resort also try deleting your Gmail account on your device that you registered with them adding it back.
