Data loss in Photo Booth application
Accidentally or intentionally hitting the button ‘X’ means deletion of photo (the original copy as well as from the photo booth). However, few chances are still left with the user to recover the deleted images if and only if the images are deleted but the photo booth tool is not closed. If such is the case with you then you can follow the below path and locate your deleted images and restore from there.
/private/var/tmp/folder.501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.
PhotoBooth/intermediateTrashDirectory /
But if you have closed the photo booth application after deleting the images accidentally, then you will not find the deleted images at the above mentioned location. For the recovery of your priceless photographs, videos all you need to run is a photo recovery Mac tool. The use of a photo recovery tool is not as techie as it may sounds. Today, most of the tools for recovering data are Do-It-Yourself software.
1) Run the Mac photo recovery tool and from interface select either the main hard drive/volume.
2) Hit ‘Start Scan’ button & wait patiently (scanning time depends upon size of the stored data).
3) Either Check all ‘File List’ or Uncheck the unwanted image file types.
4) Scans begins and after completion, files are listed on left hand side of the Mac photo recovery tool.
5) Select all files or the files which you only want to recover. Hit the ‘Recovery Button’, provide the path to save the recovered files.
