Fix 2. Recover Deleted Files from MacBook Pro with Undo Option

Undo the deletion option is supposed to be the easiest way to recover from deleting a file by mistake, but it doesn't always work. Since there is a time and frequency limit on the number of times you can undo an operation, the best situation is to undo the deletion operation as soon as you have deleted important data.

Here are two ways to perform the undo option:

  • Press the "Command + Z" keys on your MacBook Pro's keyboard.
  • Click "Undo [the last deletion]" from the "Edit" tab in the top menu.

Fix 3. Put Back from the Trash to Recover Deleted Files

It is well known that deleted files on a MacBook Pro are not really erased, and in most cases, you can find the deleted files in the Trash bin. They remain there for 30 days and then are deleted permanently.

Besides, the Mac Trash program provides a feature called "Put Back" that can restore your deleted files to their original storage space. Therefore, when you accidentally delete files, don't worry! Open the Mac Trash bin, select the deleted files, and click "Put Back" to recover the deleted files.

Suppose the Put Back option is missing on your Mac; use the EaseUS software to recover the deleted files from the Trash bin.

Fix 2 and Fix 3 only work for normal deletions; if you permanently delete the file, these two methods no longer work.
