How to Recover Photo Files from Empty Trash
Are files gone permanently after emptying Trash Bin?
Have you ever accidently emptied your Trash Bin? Some Mac users who do not know about the actual file removal process think that emptying the Mac Trash means removing the files permanently. This misconception causes them to give up the chance to recover Trash Mac. Actually the deleted files are not gone permanently. We can recover files from Trash as long as the files are not overwritten by new deleted files.
What happened after emptying Trash Bin?
When we emptied Trash Bin, what we actually deleted is not the file itself. The operating system simply loses the access of the file, as the pointers between files and file system index are deleted. The space occupied by deleted files is marked as "available to reuse", so the deleted files remain physically intact on the drive until they are overwritten by other files. The files will be only deleted when they are overwritten by new files. In order to prevent overwriting we need to stop using the Mac immediately if we want to recover deleted files from Trash. So are there any chances to recover deleted photo from trash? Let’s just keep reading, and then you will find the answer.
Chances of Mac Trash Photo Recovery
Because the operating system doesn't immediately reuse the space from deleted files, it's a plain and simple job for us to undo trash on Mac. But the probability of recovering Trash Mac successfully decreases substantially the longer we use the computer after selecting "Empty Trash" option, because the Mac OS X may overwrite this little free space very quickly with temp files. The greatest chance of Mac trash recovery is to stop using the Mac machine once we wrongly emptied the Trash. Thus, there will be a higher chance to recover deleted Mac files after emptying Trash folder.
