Yes, you can restore your Time Machine backup files from the Trash to your external hard drive directly through Time Machine. Here's how:
Time Machine will then begin transferring the selected files from the backup in the Trash to your external hard drive. Please note that depending on the size of the files and the speed of your external hard drive, the restoration process may take some time.
If issues continue, contact Apple support.
