It is possible to undelete Mac files.

Some users think that when data is deleted from the hard drive, it is deleted forever. There is no mean to undelete files from Mac OS X hard drive. In fact, it is a wrong perception that you cannot undelete Mac or the files that are deleted permanently once you emptied trash bin as you could neither find it in the trash, nor under temporary folders. Actually the files are still very much present on your hard disk. Mac OS X creates index of the file on hard drive in file system. Every data has entry in the file system index, which includes name, location, size and type. When it is accessed from the hard drive, the index is accessed by the operating system. Operating system reads the storage location of the file to extract the file. When a file is deleted, only the index entry is deleted and the disk space occupied by the deleted data is marked as free and re-useable space, so it is possible to undelete Mac until the file is overwritten by other files.
