I accidentally deleted an Office file using the “CleanMyMac” application. How can I recover it?
If the Office file isn’t overwritten, you can recover it with a data recovery tool.
You can download iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac to recover the deleted Office file on your M1 Mac.
First, stop any write action on your Mac. Avoid saving or downloading files, as it may overwrite the blocks where the deleted file exists and cause it to be unrecoverable.
Then, download the data recovery tool on an external drive and run the tool from there to scan your Mac and recover the Office file.
Do you have a Time Machine backup? If you do, restore the deleted file from the Time Machine snapshot. Refer to the following guide for more information:
