Get Back Deleted Media Data on Your Mac

Is it possible to recover Media data after formatting?

The answer is definitely YES! In fact, disk formatting doesn't erase the files (until they are overwritten by other files). When you format your Mac hard drive or store device, the file system of disk is replaced with a new empty file system, thus, the entries of all the files and directories stored on the disk are erased and they become inaccessible. But hard drive maintains an index file, which tells the operating system where a particular file is stored. When you format the hard drive, links between index and file are deleted. The file remains physically intact. You can restore formatted files from hard drive as long as the original files are not overwritten by other files.
