File management on Mac computer is always a nuisance for me, because I have ever suffered from unexpected data loss. It was the day before yesterday I checked some useless file data and managed to delete them by dragging them into the Trash. However, in this course, I falsely checked some needed data and executed Trash emptying. I wonder if there is any easy and secure way to recover file from empty Trash.
 

Emptied Trash File Recovery is Possible

In Mac, for every user account, there is a particular “Trash” folder inside the home folder. Users are able to delete a file either by dragging the file icon into the Trash on the Dock or by selecting file and pressing “Command + Delete“. Once a file is deleted, it goes to the Trash folder. At any time, users can retrieve the deleted file from Trash just by dragging it out of the Trash. Nevertheless, the file will get completely deleted when the size of the file is too big to be contained inside Trash folder or users have executed “Command +Shift + Option + Delete” or users have emptied Trash Bin. However, the file removed from Trash is still recoverable, if its index entry is recreated by proper file recovery tools. Though there is much data recovery software on current market, software performance varies. Here, we highly recommend users to adopt professional and powerful MiniTool Mac Data Recovery.
