Re: alg5 accidentently deleted a folder and emptied trash

[cubpatch via G-Group]

Hi Charles,
You might wish to check out the Wondershare website 
(mac-file-recovery.wondershare.net/). They seem to have excellent products at 
very fair prices. The only issue would be if their program
would work with 10.5.8. In any case, you should not use the affected hard drive 
until you recover the lost data. Any new information saved to the drive will
overwrite what has been erased. If Wondershare doesn't have a data recovery 
program that handles 10.5.8, perhaps they could recommend one, if you contacted
their customer service.
Good luck,
Bob C.

Re: alg5 accidentently deleted a folder and emptied trash

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.

[James Knight]

Stop using the hard drive immediately.

There are commercial utilities available. You will have to look for one that 
still supports 10.5 or has an older version available that will support 10.5. 
It's also possible that you could mount the disk from a more modern operating 
system and use such a utility from there.
