What James said. Stop using that computer. I recommend Prosoft Data Rescue https://www.prosofteng.com
Actually what I REALLY recommend is maintaining regular backups and restoring the deleted stuff from backup :-), but I try not to rub it in too much in these cases. Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner make this very simple to do, and Time Machine is free. Restoring with a utility like Data Rescue is tedious, expensive and time-intensive. Get an external HDD, plug it in and let Time Machine do it’s thing. It has saved my butt numerous times, and once it’s set up and running you can just ignore it until you need it. > On Mar 6, 2016, at 4:36 PM, James Knight <dr.james.kni...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Stop using the hard drive immediately. > > There are commercial utilities available.
