DISK DATA RECOVERY

Windows users will not be unfamiliar to the Recycle Bin, which gives us a “regret” chance. Operating systems after Windows 95 are equipped with that sweet feature. Recycle Bin in Windows is a special and hidden folder located in the root directory of each hard disk partition by default. When a file is deleted from hard drive partition, it will be sent to Recycle Bin, which means it will be put here in this folder. So the file is not missing; it is just set to be unrecognized data and wait to be overwritten by new data on the drive. If users want to recover accidentally deleted files before they empty the Recycle Bin, they can just enter it and choose restore from pop-up menu after right clicking on the certain file(s).
 
In Mac, there’s also similar feature called Trash. But the problem is what if users forget to recover lost files from Trash. They just empty the Trash after deletion or after a certain period of time, when total size of deleted files excess the limit, some files will be cleared completely from Mac. In this case, what should users do?
 

3 Steps to Get Back Lost Files from Trash

First of all, users should stop performing any operations, except for downloading MiniTool Mac Data Recovery to a Mac partition (not the one that saved lost files before), to avoid data overwritten as much as possible. Upon the completion of Mac file recovery software installation, users can start to recover lost files from Mac Trash.
 

 
Step 1: run the software and choose “Undelete Recovery” from main interface.
 

 
Step 2: choose the partition that saved the lost files users need and press “Scan” to continue.
 
Step 3: select all the lost files users want to recover from Trash and press “Save” to set a storage path.
 
After all files were saved to the specified location, users can quit the Mac file recovery software and put an end to the recovery of lost files from Trash.
