[@bradleydawson565]

I am glad that there is a way to recover files deleted from trash on mac without backup. I thought they were gone forever!

[@moemia902]

Diskdrill isnt showing me deleted files its only showing me the files currently on my computer

[@milkway7159]

I'm having the same issue, saying it's recovered but not showing up on my USB drive.

[@M1CSGO]

[@morsetoujours1396]

[@KMFilmr]

[@ericl5084]

Hi Andrea, thanks for the great video, really helpful. In your opinion, what would be the best way to delete/shred a file or folder so that it cannot be recovered?

[@shaysi]

saved me man. Thank you!!

[@cleverfiles]

Glad it helped!

[@QueenZsWorld]

my deleted file wasn't backed up into "Local Time Machine Snapshots". I'm trying this out but I'm guessing it's gone forever

We used disk drill to recover the files we deleted by mistake before backing them, but when the files were saved, even though the disk drill indicated all the files had a high chance of recovery, all the raw video files were unusable. Is there a way to fix this, or should we run another software program to see if it is reparable?

[@cleverfiles]

Disk Drill PRO recovers the files that can be correctly previewed in Disk Drill Basic. Please contact support at [e-mail]

[@pixelreflexmedia]

@@cleverfiles What does that mea?

[@pixelreflexmedia]

*mean?

[@ezzel-bendary8762]

Can i recover by "Path"? because to get all the photos mixed together without the name of the old files is a bit Chaotic!

[@zuhoorahmed3126]

Thank you so much 😭😭

[@cleverfiles]

Welcome 😊

[@stephenszklarski5446]

Thank you so much for the tips

You are so welcome!

I deleted the whole .photoslibrary. Does Drill help to recover the ".photoslibrary" format?

[@cleverfiles]

Disk Drill can help recover a deleted .photoslibrary by scanning your disk for lost files. To maximize recovery chances, stop using the disk immediately, install Disk Drill on a different drive, and run a deep scan. After scanning, review the results and recover the files to a safe location.

[@llKamelianll]

Hi I downloaded Disc Drill and it shows only the stuff that I already have. It doesn't show any of the files that were in the trashcan. How do I look in the trashcan?

[@cleverfiles]

Please contact us at [e-mail] for further assistance.

[@annadewitt123]

I tried to use Disk Drill. After the scanning done, I choose the file that I want to recover and choose my external HDD. Program says "File is recovered." but file doesn't seem at HDD.

[@cleverfiles]

[@yvngcrimsxn]

does this also work on getting disk from apps in my mac back?

[@cleverfiles]

I recommend scanning your disk with Disk Drill to see what can be recovered from it.

[@Giodannell]

Unfortunately it can't help me restore my wav files. It recover 2 years old files but not last week Wav :/

[@Miaa.swimms]

When finding my pictures it was low chance to retrieve but also when I wanted to retrieve I had to pay. Any chance theirs a free way to get them ?

[@cleverfiles]

Check if your files are correctly previewable first to ensure that they can be recovered successfully: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6DThGpqr5Kea5I

[@andrewysk7181]

Hello there! I'm interested to know if there are any potential risks or downsides to attempting to recover files that have been deleted from the Trash on a Mac. I'm also wondering if using data recovery software could harm my Mac or other files on it. If anyone has any insights or experiences to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

[@cleverfiles]

Disk Drill does not harm your computer or files, so there are no downsides of using it. Please contact us at [e-mail] if you require further assistance.

[@courtneyradcliffe6967]

Could it not harm it by "taking up more space"....I thought its best to minimize computer use when trying to recover a file. Is Disk Drill still OK to use?@@cleverfiles

[@BradHastings-m7s]

Extremely informative, but I was hoping I could get to my lost files without additional software.

[@cleverfiles]

You can try free options like TestDisk

[@catroyce]

Thank you for mentioning a free recovery software!

[@cleverfiles]

Any time!

[@Cimorene-zj8iz]

How much storage is necessary for diskdrill

[@cleverfiles]

Disk Drill is a very light program, does not take much storage space at all.

[@HanselDiarios]

I tried to recover my lost file with disk drill but i cant unless i pay $127 😭 is there no free trial or free software?

[@cleverfiles]

We offer a free recovery of up to 500 MB of your data if you use Disk Drill for Windows. Unfortunately, this option is not available for Mac users at this time. We do guarantee the recovery of the files you can fully preview in the free version.

[@courtneyradcliffe6967]

wish I knew this before downloading and waiting 3 hours

[@joshzepeda4202]

Very helpful video. Thank you for your time and effort!

[@cleverfiles]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@debelvidge1412]

Can't recover much of anything from Disk Drill without buying the premium package. The download itself is free but did me no good. Haven't recovered what I need.

Hmm. Disk Drill did not quite do it for me. But it was worth a try.

I purchased this software hoping it would help me recover a 21 gig video I exported out of Final Cut Pro and unfortunately it didn’t work 😔 I’m not sure if it can’t recover larger files but it only found smaller files.

[@cleverfiles]

Please contact us at [e-mail] for further assistance.

[@rhythmantic]

Thank you for the tips/tutorial, it's much appreciated. I give it a shot with Diskdrill.

[@cleverfiles]

You're welcome!

[@ESABELLAMAKAHAMADZE]

Please Andrew help me i lost all my info my phone and my SD card.

[@cleverfiles]

Every recovery case is unique and depends on thousands of parameters. The only way to verify that your files are recoverable is downloading Disk Drill Basic, running the scan on the whole drive (not just volume or partition) without interruptions, locating the files in question, and previewing them to verify the content. Disk Drill PRO will recover the files that can be correctly previewed in Disk Drill Basic.

[@simplyeason]

i cant find the file :’)))

[@kasiapurzycka]

Hasn’t worked for me 😢

[@cleverfiles]

Try scanning your drive with Disk Drill to see what can be recovered from it.

[@kasiapurzycka]

@@cleverfiles nothing.

I have just bought the pro version… I can’t recover any file… this aap is really bs. Don’t buy… waste of money
