Files found in the Trash Bin are easily recovered by using the following procedure:
- Open the Trash Bin by clicking on its icon
- Locate the lost or deleted files that you wish to restore.
- Right-click on the selected file or folder.
- Choose Put Back to restore deleted files on Mac to its original location.
External devices that are connected to your Mac also have a Trash Bin that can be used to recover lost files in the same way. macOS creates a hidden folder named ".Trashes" that contains the trash for that device. You can choose to show the hidden files after which you can use the ".Trash" folder for the external drive using the same procedure outlined above for your Mac’s main Trash Bin.
