Mac File Recovery after Accidental Deletion

Accidental deletion is the most common action that causes data loss most of the times. Many times we unknowingly or incautiously delete files from our PC or laptop, which later appears to be important. Files can be deleted in different manners, either simply by using the “Delete” key or by using “Command + Delete” keys.

If you had accidentally deleted a file with help of “Delete” key, it can be recovered or restored from the Trash. But the problem takes place, when you have deleted it by using “Command + delete” keys, as the file does not get stored in the Trash. Other circumstances where you lose file after accidental deletion are by emptying the Trash and if you have deleted the file from a removable storage drive then the file will not get stored in the Trash.

Is the file permanently deleted?

No, the file is not permanently deleted / lost from the hard drive. Whether a file is deleted using “Delete” key, “Command + delete” keys, by emptying Trash or from removable storage drives, it is still present in the hard drive and can be easily recovered. When you delete a file, only its entry is deleted from the directory, indicating the system that there is a free space available. Hence, the file can be recovered if not overwritten by any new data.
