I placed what I thought were old files into trash and emptied the trash.
But did not secure the trash.
Is it possible to get these files back?
Or even do something similar to a system restore , going back to an earlier time?

I deleted all of the files in a document folder yesterday and emptied the trash. Is there a way to get them back. No back for this folder.
View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday I ran into a problem I did not know existed. I am quite new to mac.... I went to check "Last Week" in search side bar, in finder. I thought it was just history, so I deleted it all. It went into trash. Then I realized it acctually moved all the apps I used, files, prefs and so on into trash. I thought I could just restore items to its original locations. Peace of cake in windows, just click "restore". I found out I could not do it on my Mac. Yes, I know I could drag them back, but I did not know where most of the files originally came from. I searched the internet - found nothing, only that it is impossible to do. Is it true? I can not restore files I moved to trash? I tried time machine - did not work. The only way I could use - to restore the system using time machine when booted from Leopard disk. Is this the only way to restore something I moved to the trash?

I accidentally deleted a whole lot of stuff including apps, docs and critical workflow files etc of different apps.
BIG problem is, I am not sure which deleted stuff goes to which folders.
So how do I restore the stuff to their respective folders? In Windows, users have the option to right click and press "Restore" to return the files to their different folders.
When you delete something but change your mind, and the app is still in the trash bin, how can I restore back to its location with all the components? I know I can simply drag the main app to my application folder but what about the other components?

Just emptied my iMac trash. Didn't realize I had so much in there. It was over 103,000 items. I think I gained about 17 GB back. No wonder my iMac has been acting bad! Beach balls, freezes, etc.

Opening the trash shows that it is empty. I fixed permissions and rebooted but it never helped. This has been going on for about a week so now I just sit here.
