Overview of Mac USB Recovery

Unlike deleting data from a computer disk, the data deleted from a USB flash drive does not go into the trash but is directly deleted permanently. So in most situations, Mac users can’t recover the deleted data through Mac Trash. Luckily, with powerful Mac data recovery Software for USB drive recovery, you can easily recover your USB files on your Mac in simple steps.

When macOS deletes a file, the physical data is not immediately deleted from its storage device. Instead, the operating system removes the logical link to the data, making it accessible to your application. The space used by the deleted item is marked as available for use by the operating system.

As long as the data is still physically present on the storage device, it can be recovered by repairing the logical links that have been removed, making the file accessible again. On the contrary, once the operating system needs space to hold the new information, the original file will be overwritten and you are not able to retrieve your lost files.

Therefore, it is very important to follow our advice and stop using the device when you think you may have lost some data in the USB flash drive.
