    Also, here are the text guide here you can follow steps by steps to recover trash on Mac.
    Method 1: Directly Restore Deleted Files on Mac from Trash via “Put Back” Option
    If you drag a file to the trash or right-click on the file and click “Delete”, If you haven’t emptied the trash can yet, and deleted the files recently, the file can be easily restored by the following simple steps:
    1. Click on the Trash Bin icon on your desktop, and you can see the deleted files are listed there.
    2. When find the target files, drag them to the desktop, or right-click on them and select "put back" option to recover deleted files on Mac from trash. The file will be returned to its original location.
    Method 2: Recover Deleted Files on Mac with Undo Options
    If you accidently deleted important files, you can easily restore them on Mac by "Undo" option if you don't do anything else. But only if you take this action immediately after deleting the files. And it is invalid after emptying the trash or permanently deleting it. There are 2 simple ways.
    (1) Just go to “Edit” and select the “Undo Move” option.
    (2) Or you can straightaway use Command + Z key to undo the delete operation.
    Method 3: Recover Deleted Files on Mac Terminal
    Besides, Apple’s terminal application can also help to recover deleted files on Mac. To restore deleted files on Mac via Terminal, follow these steps.
    Step 1: Go to "Applications", and click "Utilities" to open Terminal
    Step 2: Type command “cd .Trash” and press "Return" key on your Mac
    Step 3: Input "mv xxx../" and hit "Return". (xxx means the name of deleted file)
    Step 4: Type “Quit” in the Terminal
    After that, go to the "Finder" window, enter the name of the deleted file in the search bar and hit Enter, the deleted file will appear. Select it and save it to a safe location.
    Please note that Terminal command can recover deleted files on Mac, but only from Trash. So if the trash was emptied, Terminal command is invalid.
    Method 4: Restore Deleted Files Mac Without Software via Time Machine Backup

    2nd, you can find the specific files you wish to restore using the onscreen up and down arrows to locate it. Then you can preview it and confirm the files is the one you want by pressing Space Bar.
    Finally, click “Restore” button, and then the deleted file will be returned to its original location.
    Method 5: Recover Deleted Files from Emptied Trash on Mac with Recoverit data recovery

      He says at the end "But if the trash has been emptied, then this method will not work". At that point, why even suggest this method??? If someone has put something in the trash, but not emptied it, then have them open the dang trash bin, find the item (use the search bar if necessary), and drag that sucker onto the desktop.
