My Finder's Download folder was accidentally removed. Can someone please tell me how to recover this, as I can't find it in the trash? Why did it disappear? How do I put it back?
Your files and downloads won't disappear entirely if you remove the Downloads folder or the contents inside of it. You could get them all back using a recovery tool. With just one click, deleted files on Mac can be recovered with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac.
Here are the steps:
Step 1. Click "Scan" to begin a search on the hard disk, external drive, or SSD where you misplaced the folder.
Step 2. Look through the results of the scan until you locate the files you require, then use the "Type" and "Path" options to narrow your search.
Step 3. Preview lost data, recover it by selecting "Recover," and store it safely.
