I seem to have deleted my Movies, Music, & Downloads Folders from my iMac and when I click on the remaining image, it says that they cannot be located because they are missing. I tried to reinstall my OS 10.13.6(High Sierra), Reopen in Safe Mode, & search my backup drive and Time Machine without any success. I would like to try a File Recovery Program. Can anyone recommend any?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
As long as it's not an sSD which pretty much wipes everything...
rccharles on file recovery...
"Stellar Phoenix Macintosh - Mac data recovery software, recovers data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks."
They have a trial version, so I guess you can see if your data can be recovered...

FileSalvage is an extremely powerful Macintosh application for exploring and recovering deleted files from a drive or volume. FileSalvage is designed to restore files that have:
* been accidentally deleted.
* become unreadable due to media faults.
* been stored on a drive before it was re-initialized/formatted.

But the longer you use the drive the less likely of any recovery, & if it's an SSD with TRIM enabled you can forget recovery.
