I have a document on my MacBook. My kids deleted the folder with that document and he has already cleared the Trash folder. Can I still recover the document? If it's possible, what can I do? many thanks.- From a user
MacBook is one of the best laptops for daily use. However, files might be lost from MacBook because of deletion, formatting, emptied Trash Bin, OS X upgrade or other situations. Normally, deleted data can be recovered from Trash Bin if you haven't cleared it. The other way to restore lost MacBook files is to make use of Time Machine as long as you have already saved them with Time Machine. Otherwise, you'll get MacBook data recovery software for help.
