Enables you to recover deleted trash

When you empty your Mac's trashcan, there's usually little chance of recovering files which is a real pain if you've deleted something accidentally.

TrashMagic enables you to recover data lost after an error or files that you deleted but now need again. This applies to days or weeks after you made the initial deletion. What's more, it couldn't be easier to use. To get going, just install TrashMagic and activate the protection it offers. Anything that you delete in your Trash is saved by TrashMagic meaning you can simply drag and drop the file back into Finder.

There are obvious security implications of this however - it's obviously not a good idea to install TrashMagic on a shared machine or if you're worried about sensitive data being recovered. Note that in this demo you only have 5 minutes to recover any data saved by TrashMagic - the full version allows you to recover data at any time.

If you're forever accidentally deleting the wrong files, then TrashMagic could save your bacon one day.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
