Step 1: Stop Using the SD Card Immediately
When files are accidentally deleted from your SanDisk SD card, avoid saving new data to prevent overwriting. Remove the card from your MacBook Air and set it aside. If the card shows errors, don't attempt repairs yet - this could reduce recovery chances. Connect the SD card using the built-in slot or a reliable USB card reader.
Step 2: Scan with Recovery Software
Download a trusted tool like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac (free scan available). Select your SanDisk card in the software and run both Quick Scan (for recently deleted files) and Deep Scan (for formatted/lost partitions). The software will display recoverable photos, videos, and documents with preview capability before restoration.
Step 3: Restore Files Safely
After previewing, select the files you need and save them to your Mac's internal drive or another storage device - never back to the same SD card. For best results, use the "Filter" option to sort by file type. If the card is physically damaged, consider professional data recovery services. To prevent future loss, enable "Lock" on your SD card before deleting files and maintain regular backups.
