Hi guys I've got a macbook with Apple SSD AP0256H .
And few days ago was doing some cleaning on it through ccleaner.
And today I noticed that some important files are missing.
Tried softs like diskdrill,easeus,rstudio6 but didn't managed to find the lost files.
The setup for ccleaner looked like this https://imgur.com/a/XrLVIpm .
Will really appreciate if anyone can share a thought on what to do.
Many thanks

If, for whatever reason, CCleaner deleted your files by accident, they are likely permanently gone due trim. At best, due to the nature of HFS+, deleted files will only be recoverable in a RAW format, without file extension. If you aren't seeing anything useful in the R-Studio Extra Found Files, you are dead in the water.

Of course, if you are installing the recovery programs and working off the SSD from which your files are missing, you are only making things worse, with every sector written back to the SSD.
