How can I recover data from Empty Trash using Stellar Mac Data Recovery?
Everyday, you delete several files from your Mac system. In Mac, for every user account, there is a particular 'Trash' folder inside the home folder. You can delete a file either by dragging the file icon into the Trash on the Dock or by selecting file and pressing 'Command+Delete'.
Once, you delete a file, it goes to the Trash folder. At any time, if you need a deleted file, you can restore the file by dragging the file out of Trash. However, sometimes, while deleting, if the size of the file is very big to be contained inside Trash folder or you have hit the set commands, like 'Command+Shift+Option+Delete', then the file gets completely deleted without going into the Trash. Apart from this, at times, you just clean your Trash completely by choosing the 'Empty Trash' option from the Finder menu.
In such cases, after emptying the Trash, Mac does not have any option to restore the deleted files. However, you can use powerful Stellar Mac Data Recovery utility to recover all your deleted files even after emptying the Trash folder.
Steps to Recover data after emptying the trash using Stellar Phoenix:
Download the Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Software and install into on your system. 
Run Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery software and from the main interface, click the 'Deleted File Recovery' icon.
Another interface opens. Choose the volume, from which you need to recover the deleted file and click on the 'Continue' button to initiate the scanning operation.
The software scans the selected volume and shows all the recoverable deleted files/folders in a tree view. (Only Preview of recoverable deleted files is available in the demo version of the software)
To recover the deleted files you need to activate the software. After activating the software
Select the files, you want to recover and click the 'Recover' button.
Provide the location, when the software asks you to specify the location, where the recovered files will be saved. By default, all the recovered files get saved in a folder named 'Root' at the specified location.Now you are avail to see your recovered data on specified location.

Hi,
Does it keeps the original filenames?
Thank you

Prior to purchase I read that Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery covers Intel and Power PC (G3 on), and your info also states "All Intel based Mac and Power PC". Have just opened package and am concerned that the disc sent states under Processor INTEL, POWER PC (G4 or later) ! I have not loaded disc and need to know whether this disc will work on a G3 Power PC running OS10 Leopard ? Finally, is it possible to load the recovered files into a new file on the original Mac or should it e loaded onto an external device ? Thanks
i just lost all my data accidentally deleting my trash.. and straight away without downloading anything else i used stellar and also activated it. what happened is i scanned the deleted file recovery and it went overnight however, it only showed me all of these random files i never seen before. the files i had deleted weren't there. also the names were all whack. i did the quick recovery, and it managed to find the folders however, my documents were all missing from the folders. any suggestions?
Yes Ricardo, software keeps the original file names.
Hi Daniel,
The names are coming whack because its journal has been updated. You can try formatted recovery or can also try deleted recovery by selecting only that file type which you wants to recover.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi John Caffrey,
yes, the software will work on G3. We suggest to save files at different location.
Thanks & Regrads,

I'm getting the message: Source and Destination Volume are same. It won't allow me to 'recover' my files. What do I need to do? What 'location' do I need to save as destination?
Hi k Jones,
you need to select a different volume (location) other then the source when software ask you to give destination location.
E.g. Suppose you have deleted your data from let say, Volume 1 and you are trying to save recover data into the same volume 1 then software shows this message, select any other volume and continue.
Hope it helps
Thanks & Regards,

i've recovered an .MOV file to another volume, and I can't open it... am i missing a step?
Hi, I downloaded your demo version for a G5 PowerPC running 10.4.11. I installed it on the mac as I only have the one but have now run it from a copy I made to an external storage device. I didn't delete the version installed on the hard drive. I am trying to recover folders which were accidently put in the trash and deleted. The demo runs fine and I can see files being recovered but then at some point it crashes. It has done the same running it from the mac hard drive and from the storage device. Does this mean that I won't be able to recover the deleted data or will the full version work differently?
