How to Recover Permanently Deleted Photos on Mac

Most of us save our memories on our Macbook since they offer abundant storage space to save our precious moments. It’s a great joy to take pictures and save them on a laptop to make them part of our memories. But what if these images and videos get accidentally deleted?

Sounds uneasy and disturbing too, right?

It shouldn’t be a surprise to know that your media files are not there anymore. Data loss can happen due to several reasons. Here, we’ve discussed a few of the most common situations in which your data can potentially get lost.

What causes photo loss scenarios?

There can be a lot of reasons for data loss but the most common ones include:

1. Entire Photo Album Deletion

If you’ve, somehow, deleted your entire photo album from Mac, you can easily find that in your Trash bin and restore it from there. If you can’t find that, try using Time Machine backup to restore your photos saved online.

2. Formatted Partition

Formatting your storage device’s partition destroys every single file on it. So, getting back your old photos, videos, or any other document, becomes quite a challenging task.

3. Emptied Trash bin after accidental deletion

This one is quite common. All the deleted files reside in the Trash bin from where you can easily restore them later. Most of the time, people accidentally delete their Trash bin as well and hence, lose the option to recover the file from the Trash bin.

In this case, you would need to install a powerful data recovery tool to get your photos back.

4. A Virus Attack

Most of the time, a virus can destroy some of your media files. In that case, you’d need to make sure that the virus is no longer there in the computer by installing anti-virus software. Then use Tenorshare 4DDiG, a data recovery software, to recover your deleted files.

How to recover permanently deleted photos on Mac without software

There are many data loss scenarios where you don’t need to install any kind of software.

1. Recover from the Recently Deleted folder

Most of the time, you can easily find your lost data in your Trash bin.

For instance, you accidentally deleted the wedding photo album that was very close to your heart. In order to restore the deleted items, simply go to the Trash bin, right-click the file and select ‘Put Back’.

2. Restore deleted pictures from iCloud

If you can’t find your deleted stuff in Bin, try looking at your backed-up data on iCloud. Visit your iCloud settings and click on iCloud Drive.
