Recovering Deleted Files on Mac

To begin with, you should install appropriate recovery software that will recover Mac files. Unfortunately, there are no freeware options, as the work this software does is quite tough and responsible. Browse the net for various options and select the one you like best. For example, if you want it to recover special file types, search for software that supports these types.

And now let's take a look at actions this software does during the Mac files recovery process. First of all it scans the hard drive (or a USB storage device - most file retrieval tools can work with portable volumes as well) for all "undeletable" files. If you act in a timely manner, then your lost file will be among them. Once you locate the file and preview its contents, you should activate the recovery process. As said before, it's quite lengthy, so better go drink a cup of coffee while your Mac struggles for your file, gathering its tiny pieces from all over the storage.

Of course the existence of tools that can recover Mac files doesn't mean that now you can relax and afford accidental file removal. Files recovery software is designed for extreme cases. To keep your files safe from being lost, better use the backup tools to create reserve copies.
