I have been using a new macbook and wanted to give the older one away. I cleaned off the old one today by deleting all my files and gave it away. Now everything is deleted from my new macbook and I'm not able to recover anything from the settings in the icloud website, nor from my iphone. How do I recover all of my files?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3
