Deleted Trash Recovery

Hello, I have deleted my trash. And I have released that I deleted a specific document I need by mistake. Is there a way I could recover this? I have tried the Time Machine back up but it does not work

What to Try:

A. Where Else to Look:

Look in other storage locations (i.e. USB Flash Drive, External Hard Drive, iCloud, eMails, etc.).


B. Check: "Open Recent"

  1. Go to: File menu
  2. Hover: over Open Recent >
  3. Select: the Document


C. Use Spotlight Search:

[Hold Down: command + spacebar]. Then, type the name of the file, seeing if it pops up.



But, if it is gone, it is gone. That's just the way it is :(
