Edit: remembered a back up I made like three weeks ago.


Oh ****.

I think I must have deleted my documents folder. I think I emptied the trash and OS X created a new one. What the ****. How did I do that?

Is there some program I can buy that can recover it?

Please please please help. Yes I realize I'm an idiot.

For the future, there are programs that can recover deleted files. But they run the risk of being damaged. The more stuff you save to your HD (including installing apps), the more likely the files will become damaged.

Norton Utilities has a program to recover files btw.

A while ago my Applications folder vanished. I though one of my children had deleted it, but no they had just somehow put a "." in front of the name, i.e. ".Applications" and OS X helpfully made it invisible!
