Restore files after empty trash

[quirozzk]

I emptied trash folder this morning to get more space on my MBP (128G SSD). However, I found out 2 important office files missing. I checked my Time Machine backup, the files are not there. So it is possible to recover the 2 files?

If you have a Time Machine backup they should be accessible. Have you tried following these instructions?

I did follow the steps. It seems the file was not included in TM backup coz I did it in every two weeks.

1. Choose Lost File Recovery mode
No matter data are deleted by "Command + Delete" or emptied from the Trash, "Lost File Recovery" can undelete files from a partition or removable media. This recovery option is priority, for it takes you only a few minutes to retrieve deleted files from Mac Trash.
If you can't get deleted file in this mode, you can try "Raw Recovery" later, which can recover piles of files including those lost long time ago, more time consumed accordingly.

2. Scan the location of Trash in Mac
Select the logical drive where you deleted your files, if you have more than one drives on your Mac. Then click on "Scan" to search your deleted files.
