Mac os restore deleted files

Recovering deleted files on Mac OS can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some ways to restore deleted files:

1. Trash: Check the Trash folder on your desktop or in the Dock. If you accidentally deleted files, they may be stored there.

2. Time Machine: If you have a backup copy of the system using the Time Machine function, open the Finder and select the option "Go" -> "Time Machine". Select the desired date to search for the file and click the "Return" button.

3. Disk Utility First Aid (Disk Service): Open the Disk Utility application (Disk Utility), which can be found through Launchpad or Spotlight Search (by typing its name). Select the partition/disk where the lost file was located, then go to the First Aid tab and run the error check.

4. Data recovery program: There are third-party software tools for macOS - such as Disk Drill or Data Rescue - which provide the ability to scan computer hard drives to find deleted files and restore them. Make sure you downloaded the program from a reliable developer's site.

5. Turn to professionals: If all other methods do not help, or you have particularly valuable information that needs to be recovered, seek the help of Mac OS data recovery specialists.

It is important to note that the faster you act after deleting a file on Mac OS, the greater the chances of its successful recovery. Try to avoid writing new data to the hard drive until the recovery process is complete.
