Like Windows OS, Mac computer also have a holding folder to store your deleted files temporarily. It is named "Trash". If you decide to tidy up your desktop and eliminate useless files on your Mac, they are not actually deleted, they are just held by the Trash.

  • 1. Click the "Trash" icon on your Mac's dock.
  • 2. Click the file you wish to restore to select it.
  • 3. Right click on the file or press "control" on your keyboard while clicking on the file to access the right-click contextual menu. Select "Put Back" from the menu to restore the file to its original folder or directory.

It becomes more aggravating if you continue to click "Empty Trash" after you drop several gigs of information into the Trash Bin, but at once you realize you just deleted something you shouldn't.
