I accidentally deleted some very important files and tried recovering them once I realised about an hour later, I tried using disk drill and while it does show some files that aren’t on my Mac usually, it is not showing the specific files I just deleted that I want to recover. I saw online that Mac’s have something called trim and they could be completely gone because of that but other places say I can recover deleted files so I’m very confused.

Just in case it’s important, the model is a 2020 M1 chip MacBook Air and it is running on Tahoe 26.5.1

TLDR - 2020 MacBook Air deleted file not showing up on disk drill, is it completely gone?

TLDR: Are my files gone and there’s no recovering?
