How to recover deleted file in mac?

After a file is deleted and the recycle bin emptied, is there any way to recover a file?

  • A rather large file I needed to use on my computer must have been deleted accidently. The recycle bin had been recently emptied and the file wasn't there. I need to know how to find and recover the file off my computer. The file was a Quatro Pro data file.

  • Answer:

    Probably. "Recover My Files is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/2003/XP and Vista and works with FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFS5 file-systems. With a deleted file the data content of the file is rarely destroyed. Even if Windows file reference information has been destroyed, Recover My Files scans the data at a low level to locate "Lost Files" by their internal file structure. This allows Recover My Files to recover deleted files that other data recovery software can never know exist." http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ And, http://www.uneraser.com/

Yes, it's possible even when your whole hard drive is formatted as basically the system only renamed & hid deleted files but not truly deleting it. Try recover using this free tool at http://www.recuva.com/

Yes!.. You need to dowload a App that will do this. Just make sure not to load anything in the same directory that deleted file was located.

If you have a recovery program or a system restore on your computer.

Yes it can be recovered providing you don't have a program called ccleaner which deletes and overwrites all that you select for deletion. Go to www.pctools.com Click on Downloads and then select the File Recoverer and you are good to go.
