Method 1: Recover Deleted Files from Trash Folder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Trash is a folder\/location on Mac systems which temporarily retains deleted files. It can hold the files deleted from the SD card if you used your Mac for file deletion. Thus, deleted files can be restored from Trash, unless you\u2019ve emptied it or used the \u2018delete immediately\u2019 feature while deleting the files.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to recover deleted files from Trash:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect the SD card to your Mac (if not connected or removed for any reason)<\/li>\n
  2. Open Trash and find the files you\u2019ve deleted based on the file name, date modified, size, and type<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [NOTE]:<\/em><\/strong><\/span> You can use the Search box to enter the filename or file extension so that the Trash folder directly reveals your files from the pool.<\/em>

      [NOTE]:<\/em><\/strong><\/span> When the backup drive is full, Time Machine removes the oldest weekly backup.<\/em><\/p>\n

      [IMPORTANT]:<\/em><\/strong><\/span> Before you begin, make sure that the backup drive is connected and turned ON.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Steps are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
