Can i retrieve a deleted file when my Trash is already empty????

hey guys,
i need your help!!! Can i still retrieve an important file, that i accidentally deleted, when my Trash is already empty??? please please help!!! is there any way that i could retrieve the file???

Hi leecastasus;
First thing is to stop using the Mac. The more you use the Mac the greater your chances of overwriting the deleted file.
Get a demo copy of Data Rescue II. The demo will tell you if it can recover the file for you. If it can then you must pay for it to do that actual recovery to another disk.

  • How to stop firefox from deleting files when history is cleared?

    I cleared my History and firefox deleted my downloaded files from internal memory where it was stored,
    is there any way to prevent deleting files when clearing history?
    Thanks in advance for support

    Hello ''Saurabh,
    Firefox won't remove Downloaded files from your computer while clearing History. If Browsing & Download History is checked/selected ( '''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details ) in History, Firefox will clear the file names from '''''Downloads''''' page. But it won't remove files from your computer's Hard Disk. If you want to locate the Firefox Download Directory,
    # At the top of the '''''Firefox''''' window, click on the Firefox button and then select '''''Options'''''.
    # Select the '''''General '''''panel.
    Under Downloads, on the right of '''''Save files to''''' option, you can find the Downloads Directory for Firefox. If you click on the '''''Browse..''''' button, it will take you to that folder/directory and there you can find your downloaded files.
    If you don't wish to clear Download History while clearing Firefox History, you can disable it :
    '''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details and uncheck '''''Browsing & Download History'''''.

  • How can I login and retrieve my user file from the trash?

    I was trying to find out where all my HD had gone, which a did using ‘What Size’.
    I found what looked like an old backup file so I put the file in the trash.
    It turns out that the file was my user file. So now I can’t login to as the user.

    How can I retrieve my old files on important documents and informations?

    Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
    Has the device been used as designed?  If so, simply re-sync them.
    Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

    If you mean email messages, no.  iCloud doesn't handle your Yahoo email in any way.  You would have to contact Yahoo support to find out if they can restore deleted messages.

    Can I retrieve a deleted video i took from iPhoto's on the new iPad?

    Delete is delete, so No you can't, but yes, there are tools available, but the software & hardware required to do so is extremely expensive and thus out of the reach for the average user. Requires training to use properly. There may be services available that provide this functionality, but they are not cheap either and you pay whether they are successful or not.
