Can I recover deleted files on Mac OS X? I mistakenly deleted some important data and there was no Time Machine backup or any other backups. In this case, who can help me? Is it possible to recover deleted files?
In general, when deleting a file, it will be stored in the Trash. Here, we can easily recover these deleted files.
Step 1: Open the Trash.
Step 2: Right-click deleted file and then choose “Put Back”.
That’s all! We have successfully recovered deleted files from Trash. However, what if we emptied the Trash by mistake? Here, a piece of professional yet green Mac data recovery software, MiniTool Mac Data Recovery, is recommended here. It can help to recover deleted from emptied Trash quite ease.
At first, we need to launch MiniTool Mac Data Recovery to get its main interface as follows.
In the main interface, we can see four relatively independent data recovery modules. Here, we can choose “Undelete Recovery” since this module is specially designed to recover deleted files even we have emptied the Trash.
Now, select the partition containing lost data and then click “Full Scan” button to thoroughly scan it. After scanning, all found data are listed in the following window.
At this time, select all needed files and then click “Save” button to store them. Note: please store recovered files on another drive. Otherwise, the lost data could be overwritten.
After all operations are done, we have finished recovering deleted files after emptied Trash.
See! Deleted files recovery on Mac OS X is very simple, isn’t it?
