How to recover deleted photos on my mac?? HELP!!!

[PrincePle]

Hi everyone, I need to know if it’s possible to recover my deleted photos in my situation… I shot my friend’s wedding with my camera, and when I got home, I transferred all the photos to my MacBook Air M2 2022. Once all the files were saved on my desktop, I deleted them from my SD card.

 

Everything seemed fine, but not for long 😓 because then I decided to transfer these photos to an external hard drive so I could give it to my friend for her to copy them. I thought I had successfully transferred the photos, so I deleted them from my Mac. Later, I gave the drive to my friend, and she said the photos aren’t on it, not in any of the folders.

Please help, how can I recover deleted photos on Mac?

Hey, buddy, just check the Trash on your Mac, ’cause by default, deleted files go straight there.

I agree with @UrbanExplorer7; the first place to check is the Trash—it exists on your Mac for a reason, haha.

If your files aren’t there, do you have Time Machine set up for backups?
