Recovery of deleted mac os 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 the files, they may still be 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 data is stored, then go to the First Aid tab and run the error check.

4. Data recovery software: There are data recovery programs for Mac OS X, such as Disk Drill or Data Rescue 5 Pro, which can scan your computer's hard drive to find deleted files and restore them. Make sure you are using reliable software from a trusted developer.

5. Turn to professionals: If all other methods did not work or the data is very important to you, it is best to turn to a computer repair specialist or an Apple service center for help.

In any case, if you have deleted any files on Mac OS X, you should stop using the disk/partition until it has been successfully scanned for the possibility of data extraction (by scanners). This is due to the fact that when writing new data, a damaged block can be partially overwritten, leaving the steps of the information reading equipment available for other file fragments.
