Do you often empty the Trash? Do it carefully, for you may deleted some important items as well.

"I have the habit that when I move something to the Trash, I empty the Trash immediately for I do not want the deleted items to eat any of my Mac's space. Yesterday, I deleted a document, which I thought it is useless, but today, I find I was wrong. But when I come to the Trash, I can find nothing now. I am wondering is there any app can help me get back the deleted items from the emptied Trash. Any ideas ?"

It is not necessary to talk too much about your habit for I do the same thing just like you do. It is not a new problem to Mac users. Data loss is just a common problem that often happens to Mac users. Some unintentional or erroneous deletion will result in data loss. But do the deleted items disappear forever? Can they be retrieved? This article will tell you the answer.

In fact, deleted files are not gone forever, they are hidden somewhere on the Mac. But to recover them, you need some app as your assistant. Here, I recommend iOrgsoft Data Recovery for Mac (Data Recovery) to you. With this app, you can easily get your deleted items back. Aside from recovering deleted items from Mac, it also can retrieve deleted items from hard drive, USB drive, mobile phones, digital cameras, MP3 players etc.

Guide on recovering lost files on Mac

Download and install the iOrgsoft Data Recovery software, run it. Follow the guide below to restore your deleted items.

Select a file recover mode

After running this app, you will see the interface below, select the first mode "Lost Files Recovery", if this mode cannot find the files you want, turn to the second one "Raw Recovery"

Choose a drive to scan the deleted files

Select the drive where you lost your files, click "Scan" to search the deleted items. If you know the file type, you can select the file type for quick scan.

Preview and recover deleted items

iOrgsoft Data Recovery allows you to preview files during scanning. All files are found will appear on the category in the left panel of the interface. You can click the category and preview the files. Once you find the items you want, you can "Pause" or "Stop" to cease the scanning. To recover them, you just need to click the box before the items' name, and then hit "Convert" to start recovering deleted items on Mac. Before recovering, you are required to set an output path to save the recovered files so that you can easily find them after recovery.
