Recover Files Deleted with Command Line on Mac OS X

Users may not often make use of the command line to delete files from computer because they are not very familiar with it. They always achieve deleting files from Mac by emptying the Trash Bin (if the unwanted files are saved there) or by the way of “Shift + Delete”. But users may choose to clear files by using command line when they encounter the following situation: some files in users’ computer hard disk can not be accessed normally, so users decide to delete these files. However, OS doesn’t allow them to do so. At this moment, users may choose to realize files deletion by using command line. They can open Terminal, input “sudo rm –rf ” first and then drag the certain files into the Terminal (or type the certain file names into it). After users quit Terminal, they will find that the certain files have been successfully deleted from computer.
