Ok,Hope to help you.
But if you keep doing wrong things such as the read-write operation, the probability of file recovery will decrease to 20%~50%.So hope everyting is good.
In Data Recovery situations you get what you pay for.
How much are these files worth to you, $100, or nothing at all. And $100 is cheap, a Data Recovery company would be thousands, not hundreds.
Why did you not back them up? do you backup?
Sure ,I agree with u, Some files may contain your precious memories.

If you are still using your Mac you are destroying the deleted files, and any chance of recovering them, stop now, do not use the Mac again until the files are recovered.
Good luck with the free ones. (The trial versions will not recover your files, but they will say that they might be able to if you pay for them)

My friend I would like to say thank you , too! Your opinion is correct!!!
People have been telling you how to do it for the past 10 minutes.
Let me repeat Step 1: Do not use that computer until you have retrieved your files.
I fould that you guy (g-rrr) suggested ways acctually worked and got the files back to me!
What's more, it not only get the files that I want them back but also get the photos which were lost long time ago!!!
So fxxking fantanstic! How can it be possible happen??? Yes it's minnight but I'm still very exciting and I really want to know how this happen though it took me a long long long time to scan my drive!!!
OK - what did you do?
Hey, I followed the guy g-rrr's opinion in this post, you can check it out. Though it seems like an ads, who cares? Only thing I care is it helps me a lot. I gonna sleep 'cause it took me a long time to do so.
That's good, you got lucky. Now it's time to start backing up your Mac, buy an external hard drive and use Time Machine, you may not be so lucky next time.
Do it now.

Do what now?
I'm talking to the OP, of course, not to you.
