How to Recover a Replaced File on Mac Without Time Machine
I lost the original file's contents last week when I unintentionally saved a file over a very critical document. I looked for answers, and it turned out that Time Machine is my best bet, but it seems that it had to be running when the file was lost. So how can I get it back?

The replacement files in the occupied area on a storage device cannot be recovered after deleted files, because they have been removed and new files have been saved there. But by using specialized file recovery software, the lost file in the vacant space can still be recovered.
Assuming this occurs, you have two options: restore all replaced files from your Time Machine backup, or seek assistance from a reputable Mac data recovery program.
