Re: What is the best data recovery software for macos?
If you don't have a Time Machine backup and need to recover data from your Mac, you can try using free data recovery software on Mac.
1. Stop Using the Drive Immediately
To maximize chances of data recovery Mac, avoid writing new data to the drive.
Do not install recovery tools on the drive you're trying to recover from.
2.Use Terminal for Deleted Files
If files were recently deleted, check if they are still in the .Trash folder:
Open Terminal.
Type: ls -la ~/.Trash
If your files are there, you can restore them with:
mv ~/.Trash/filename /path/to/destination/
Replace filename with your actual file name.
