How do you delete a file on your new MacBook Air? The shortcuts – Command + Shift + Delete will delete your files and bypass the Trash. That’s why they won’t go to the Trash folder on your Mac.
If you use the Move to Trash option on your right-click menu but find the deleted files are not in the Trash, your Trash directory file is probably corrupted, run the command below in Terminal and then relaunch your Trash to recreate the Trash .plist file.
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
Your deleted files are permanently gone. If you need your data, you need a data recovery tool to help you like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac. Download, install, and open it, choose macOS Data or Macintosh HD – Data volume on the main interface, and click Search for Lost Data. Then, it will help you find the deleted files. You can preview the found files and click Recover to save them to another destination.
