How to Retrieve Files Deleted from the Recycle Bin on Mac

If you often find yourself having to retrieve deleted files from the trash bin, then follow the guide and here’s how to fix it.

There are several apps to recover deleted files from the trash, but in my opinion, what seems more effective, as well as being very simple and intuitive is ” Disk Drill. ”

In addition to Recovering Files, it also has the function of preventing mistakes made by mistake using the Recovery Vault option. Retrieving files can be something really useful even for work reasons, so I recommend you follow the guide and see the tutorials on the web.

  • Disk Drill has a password protection system that can be activated in your preferences so that setting it will only give you full control over the app, and no one will ever recover what you’ve deleted. Also this procedure is very simple and also applies to files from external peripherals, hardisk and USB flash drive.
  • Available in the Apple Store and compatible with OS X 10.6.6 or later. So to get started, you have to install it, and, just like you do on Apple devices, just drag it into the Applications folder, you will immediately ask for our system password to allow the installation of ” Recovery Vault “. The option mentioned is very useful not only because it provides a simplified but also very fast procedure for adding it to the installation package.
  • Once this is done, the program will ask us if we want to view a tutorial (9 step). Definitely useful, I highly recommend the tutorial view because it allows a complete and more understandable view of the program.
  • After that, we are in front of the real program, a really simple interface divided into 2 parts: – Protect, that is, the protection of our data; – Recover, recover lost files. As soon as we access one of the 2 features listed, the program will report, in addition to the system hard disk, all the other devices connected to our personal computer, whether or not each unit is protected, and of course we can retrieve it of the data we need.
  • Once we are confident with the program, we can access the Advanced feature by manually adding the folders to be protected. Get in front of your PC and try to familiarize yourself with this program because it’s really easy and useful, even though you may have some small initial difficulties.
