“Hi, I just run a duplicate files finder app Gemini to scan my Mac to clean duplicates. It finds a lot of duplicate files and folders, and it helps me delete the duplicate files/folders by just 1 click. But I think it may delete some useful duplicate files. I open the trash bin, but find nothing, it is emptied. Can you help me to recover the deleted duplicate files on my Mac? Really thanks.” – Lisa
