Does a 4 hour trance regain spells slots for and elf sorcerer?
If you have a place where you can meditate uninterrupted for four hours in a dungeon, go for it.
However, the Trance replaces only the effects eight hours of sleep would have for a Human, in a four hour duration. So there are many things you can do while trancing instead of sleeping, since you're not Unconscious while trancing. For instance, you can continue to concentrate on ongoing spells. However, sleep doesn't recover spell slots, a Long Rest does.
A Long Rest still takes 8 hours ,which can (and for most species, does) include sleep but also some light activity, and Rules-as-Written, you need to take a Long Rest to get your Sorcerer spell slots back the the ordinary way, even if you're an Elf.
The only exception I can think of right now of to this are the Reborn from Van Ricten's Guide to Ravenloft, who explicitly can do a Long Rest in 4 hours using their Deathless Nature trait.
I am a high elf sorcerer and i am wondering if i take a rest will it recover my spell slots and does this work in dungeons as well.
Sorcerers recover spell slots when they finish a long rest, yes.
Does it work in dungeons as well?

🎵I'm on top of the world, looking down on creation, wreaking death and devastation with my mind.
As the power that I've found erupts freely from the ground, I will cackle from the top of the world.🎵
