Hey



I have used Omnidisksweeper on my OS X Panther Powerbook, but, unwisely I have deleted some - probably - important files that have caused all my crucial stuff to disappear (photos ; preferences; configurations; etc..)

Is there any way to UNDO or RESTORE what I have done ?



I haven't had much response when I post a "help" question here, but I hope i get some this time.



txs



Vasco

    Not sure about the undelete part, but what I would suggest is minimise your use of the HD. Once the data is overwritten then your task becomes a lot harder.

    I also found references to an app called Data Rescue X



    One interesting point to note is:



    Q:_

    Can Data Rescue recover a file I just deleted (I'm running Mac OS X)?



    A:_

    No, there is no tool on the market that can recover deleted files without being loaded ahead-of-time. OS X (UNIX) writes over your deleted file immediately, impeding recovery (this was different in previous operating systems that were not based on UNIX). Our other product, Data Recycler can prevent this from happening by protecting you from this type of data loss in the future.



    Not sure if this is what you want to hear, but it does have a free trial download so you can at least give it a try.
