How to Recover Deleted Files from Emptied Trash in Mac OS X

What happens if you decide to empty the Trash Bin on Mac?

When you emptied the Trash Bin on Mac (secure emptying is not included), what you deleted was actually not the file. You just lose access of the file from the system. The space occupied by deleted files is marked as "available to reuse", so the deleted files remain physically intact on the drive until they are overwritten by other files. The files will only be deleted when they are overwritten by new files. To prevent overwriting we need to stop using the Mac immediately if we want to recover deleted files from Mac Trash.
