Hello, I have deleted a disk from my Mac and I didn't know how to use time machine properly and ended up not backing up my files at all. Is there any apps that can recover files from a disk deletion or is there no hope?
Hey there Michael-AnnGrant,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you want to know if you can restore any files from a disk you erased. I’ll be happy to help with this.
If you wiped the drive using Disk Utility and don’t have a backup, did you sync any of your files, Documents, or other data with iCloud?
If so, you can sign into your account on your Mac and sync over your data.
This link has info on how to set up Time Machine so this doesn’t happen in the future:
Back up your Mac with Time Machine
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
