Undeleting TRASH folder

Is the User saying the " Trash Folder " has disappeared from the Dock ?

Or does the User mean to Contents in the Trash Folder has disappeared ?

It would seem normal for the Trash Folder to empty as the user " - then emptied the trash "

The User can user their Time Machine Backup to recover deleted files

Refer to information related to Time Machine Backup Utility built into the Operating System for this very purpose

 Time Machine Backup  is very useful

Actually I deleted the file (placed in trash folder) - then I emptied the trash folder. :-(. The time machine backup did not capture the last version of a ppt file I deleted; hence the problem. And I REALLY do not want to go out and buy software for this problem.

Sorry about this issue of the Emptying the Trash to quickly..

As for Purchasing Software to do a Time Machine Backup - that Software is built Into the Operating System

Incase the user overlooked that information, here it is again.

The only thing to purchase is a reliable External Drive that has the Drive Capacity at least 2 1/2 Time Bigger that the Internal Drive .

That would allow for a long relationship and happy between the TM Backup Drive and the computer

IMHO , more importantly are the Technical Issues surrounding Emptying the Trash too soon and incorporating the Built In TM Backup Utility into the Daily workflow and on a Scheduled Regime

FWIW, since Time Machine didn't have a chance to back up the file, unless the file was backed up to iCloud or an equivalent, there is no chance to recover the file, with or without software.
