I was recently going through my files on my MacBook Air. I was putting some in the trash and some in a folder to put on an external hard drive. When I emptied the trash, the folder with stuff to put on the hard drive disappeared. Is there any way I can recover this without having to pay $80+ for one of the recovery softwares?
The usual way is to restore that item from Time Machine, assuming it remained present long enough for Time Machine to create a backup (about an hour).
Read Use Time Machine to restore deleted files or older files. If you can't find it, then Time Machine didn't back it up.
If all else fails commercial file recovery software may work, or it may not. All you can do is try it.
