Hey everyone, my father accidentally deleted all of the files for a project from work on his Mac. He deleted it from the Windows side with Parallels, and it was located on the Mac desktop. How would we go about getting it back? We tried a couple programs already, but none of them seem to work correctly. Ones UI was completely messed up and didn't function, and the other two just show files that are located on the hard drive currently, not ones that were deleted. A speedy answer would help alot, I'm frantically searching Google. Please keep this on topic.

Thanks,

- Kyle

There is probably a very small chance that you will actually get the file back, I tried to get one back before on my mac and I never got it working. And it seems like the longer time that you don't retrieve it the harder it gets to retrieve back, and if you restart the computer (if you emptied the trash) it's almost impossible. I think...

Hm...

The computer locked up and he had to reboot. No chances now, huh?
