Can I recover deleted files from trash on Mac?

You may recover lost data on a Mac without the need for any additional software if you make use of certain Mac tools discussed in the next section.

Additionally, you might need a data recovery application such as Tenorshare 4DDiG to retrieve anything that has been deleted from the trash on your Mac.

Recover accidentally emptied trash in macOS Ventura

Here are some of the easiest and most convenient ways to recover deleted files from the emptied trash on macOS Ventura.

1. Use Time Machine

If you routinely back up your Mac, you may be able to utilize the backup media to retrieve items from the Trash bin after you have deleted them. The fact that you have a backup that includes the lost information is essential in this situation. 

This backup and recovery program, known as Time Machine, is already pre-installed on your Mac. When recovering the trash from a Time Machine backup, use the technique.

1. Establish a connection between your Mac and the Time Machine backup media.
2. Launch the Finder application and go to the Trash folder. (It is also important that you verify the folders that had the files before you moved them to the Trash.) 
3. Launch Time Machine and go through its archives for the things you erased. 
4. Choose the things that need to be recovered, and then click Restore.
   

2. Use iCloud backup to recover emptied trash

1. Visit iCloud.com and sign in there. 
2. To open the iCloud Settings web app, you will need to click the gear icon. 
3. Scroll down until you reach the bottom, then click the Restore Files button. 
4. Select the files that were deleted lately that you wish to recover, and then click the Restore button.
   

3. Use Tenorshare 4DDiG to recover trash files in macOS Ventura

Even after you delete a file, it will remain on the hard drive until another file is stored in the same place. But you can retrieve deleted trash easily with solid data recovery software designed for Mac. Here, we’ll be using Tenorshare 4DDiG Mac data recovery.

1. After the installation is complete, launch 4DDiG-Mac and choose a place, such as your local disks, to begin the data recovery process on your Mac.
   
   
2. When you move the mouse pointer over the spot you want to scan, a little icon with the word “Scan” will display in the corner to the right. Simply start the search for your missing files by clicking the Scan button.
3. The process of checking for deleted files takes some time. After the result of the scan has been obtained, you will be able to choose individual file types and get a preview of further data.
   
   
4. Click the Recover button, and then choose a place to save the recovered data. It is not advised that you save the recovered data to the partition on which you had previously lost them.
