How to Recover My Deleted Files on My MacBook Air after Deleting in Trash?

I need your help to recover my deleted files in my MacBook Air. Without knowing the consequence, I deleted all PDF files and Word documents usually found in Trash. Then I realized that those documents were permanently deleted from other places as well.

Hello, glad to help you, you can recover permanently deleted files on Mac with these fixes:

(1) If you set a backup in iCloud. You can visit iCloud.com to recover the files in the last 90 days.

(2) If you set an external drive in Time Machine backup. You can use it to restore the files with the timeline.

(3) If you don't have any backups or fail to find them in the two ways above, try a professional tool iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac.
