I accidentally deleted multiple files from my desktop folder. I first used the UNDO option and nothing happened. Then I went to trash and selected the PUT BACK option and the files I selected to put back completely disappeared from the trash after a error popped up saying id=6571367.9699936 error code -36.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
The only way to get them back is from your external backup like Time Machine.
Probably because they were deleted or could not be recovered from the Trash.
A Work computer and there is not Recue Plan in place ?
Point # 11 - Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS.
Point # 12 - For addition purposes - two Tested Bootable Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site
This is actually my work computer and we did not have the time machine set up. Do you know what is causing the files to not be able to be recovered?
Not sure what happened with your Trash but that is why you always have a backup just in case.
