We'll show you how to get your files out of the Trash and restore them on your Mac - even if you've already emptied the Trash.

Restore files manually

After you have deleted a file by pressing the [Del] key or right-clicking and "Put in the trash". As the command suggests, it ends up in the trash. This is shown to you via the trash can icon in your taskbar and is located at the bottom right.

Choose using a right-click the file that you want to save, and then go to " replacement ". Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop the files from the recycle bin to the desired folder..
