Hello, I have deleted a video by accident from trash. I’m wondering if there is any possibility to recover this permanently deleted video as it has key and vital information that is very important to me. I have a MacBook Air. I have tried googling this. It says to use time machine but this app is not working on my laptop for some odd reason. Please reply to me if you have any tips for this problem.
Once you empty the Trash on a computer using an SSD, then that data has been permanently destroyed due to how SSDs work. The only way to recover accidentally deleted data is by restoring it from another copy of the file you have stored on other media or in a backup. The more important the data, then the more backup copies you should of that data with at least one copy stored at a physically remote location.
People should have frequent and regular backups of their computer and all external media (including the cloud) which contains important & unique data. There are a lot more new ways to permanently lose access to the data stored on the internal SSD of the recent Macs due to all the recent hardware, software, and security changes.
Apple includes the Time Machine backup software for free with every copy of macOS....the user must supply an external drive(s) and configure Time Machine to perform the backup. Of course you can manually transfer files to external media or use third party backup software as well for a secondary method of backups.
Keep in mind that iCloud and other cloud file syncing services are not backups. They only provide a file syncing service so that you can access the data from any device from any location. There are some actual online cloud backup services (Crashplan, Backblaze, etc.), but they should only be used for secondary backups since recovering data can take some time and their terms & conditions could change at any time.

Hello, I cannot help much but I can offer you something small. If this is a work computer contact your IT and it will get it back in no time, but if this is a personal Mac, then the only solution I can offer you applies to when this was on I cloud. Go to settings and then click on your account. Go to ICloud, and then under “apps using iCloud”, you should find files. Click on that and that takes you to your files sometimes this will even include deleted files, because they were not deleted from iCloud, only from your device. If you cannot find it here, I am sorry but that is all I can offer you. Try updating your Mac to see if that will help the app Time Machine function
