deleted files on HFS+ partition

September 27th, 2017, 6:04

Hello,

what is the best tool to recover deleted files on HFS+ partition?
On this case, the user deleted by mistake a folder with pictures and after that didn´t touch anymore on the disk.
I already tried PC3000, R-studio, UFS and Reclaime (all under windows OS) and cannot find the folder neither the pictures on the RAW recovery.

Any help will be appreciate.

Is this an SSD drive or traditional hard drive?

You can try Data Rescue 4. Have it scan just the unallocated areas of the drive. You might find something, but it will be a RAW recovery of it. HFS+ and SSD. deleted data will be very hard to get back.

Game over, if trim was enabled you will not get data back.

I want to learn from others' experiences -- what happened because Trim was enabled?

This should help. " ...inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally"
