"Yesterday, I had deleted some files from my USB flash drive on my Mac because there was only a few data space left on the USB flash disk. However, something bad happened. Without realizing, I accidentally deleted some documents I still need. It's the final draft of my thesis. At first, I wasn't panic. Until I realized it was actually gone nowhere. Based on what I knew, it should be in the trash bin after we deleted documents on Mac, right? But, I can't find it there, or anywhere on my Mac. So can you help me? I really need an easy way to get it back -- the very easy way that won't make me confused."

If you're being in a situation like this, you shouldn't panic. And yet, you shouldn't download any data recovery tools, and save it on your USB flash drive, unless you know it will really work to recover your files (I'll tell you while in a minute). Of course, if you deleted your documents files directly from your USB flash drive it will not go to the Mac trash bin first. Instead, it will be deleted permanently. But again, don't panic. it's not totally true. It’s just a common theory, anyway.
