Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

Hello all ,

So basically some data like : pictures ; disk images from my pc (MAC) disappeared.
The funny thing is that in some particular folders just some pictures disappeared some are still there.
I tried few softs like Diskdrill but wasn't able to find anything except some trashed files 6 months ago.
Then I did a scan with R-studio and got this error.
Unforunantely the text is too big so I'll leave a link:

Actually, this is a system dump made by R-Studio when it crashed. Please, contact our techsupport with this. They'll help you to solve the problem.
About your case. I guess your Mac system has an SSD disk. If so, this may be a combination of failed garbage collection and the Trim command.
When did the files disappear? Was it a system crash, or what?

Hello Alt ,

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes I do have a an SSD and to be honest I was thinking about same kind of reasoning .
I remember deleting some files few days back (not involving the ones which disappeared).
Not sure it was a system crash but from what I remember it run out of battery over the night and in the morning I found it off.
Would you call this a system crash ?
From your experience what could be done to get this sorted ?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately...
Maybe in-site inspection by a reputable data recovery pro...

I just remembered that I've messed up with the CCleaner .
As far as I know this got to do only with the browser cleaning.
But could it be that it deleted some files on pc through the download history of the browser ?
Thanks in advance

I'm more inclined to think about some deleted files, then improper garbage collection, then Trim.
BTW, was it on the APFS file system?

What exactly was on APFS ?

Ok so I think I understand now what happened.
Seems that it was CCleaner .
That's how the set up looks like :

I mean the file system on that SSD disk was APFS. Correct?

I've recently faced this type of problem by myself. Fortunetely I already knew how to deal with it
