[Fixes] Recover Original Files after Being Replaced by A New One

I accidentally dragged the same name folder and replaced an original one. It is my illustrator file and picture file, so important for me, is there any way to recover them? I have tried Disk Drill and Time Machine, but nothing works.

  1. Use iCloud backup(you turned it on before). Sign in to iCloud.com > Account Settings > Restore Files > Preview and choose the ones you want to restore.
  2. Use Time Machine(you enabled it before). Time Machine > Browse the timeline to choose your wanted ones then click Restore.
  3. Try the app's native restore function. Open the app to find the settings then download the files.
  4. Utilize iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac(if no cloud storage). Download, install, and open it > Select your Drive you stored your lost data and choose Search for Lost Data > Preview and choose the files then click Recover to another place. 

Hope you can your files finally. Best wishes.

How to Recover 0 KB Size Files on macOS?

Hello everyone.

I moved (yeah I know I should've copy instead of moving) my files from SD Card to External Drive and in the moment of moving all disks was disconnected.

No I don't have these files on my card and on the external drive I see them as greyed out and 0 Kb size.

Is there a way to recover the files. They also not in the Trash.
