I accidentally deleted some of my PSD files! :( HELP!!!

Question

Hello - I inadvertently deleted some of my PhotoShop (CC-2017) PSD files.  I have tried the "Recuva" program, and it finds them, and recovers them and they SHOW as PSD file.  However, when I try to open them, PhotoShop throws up a message that the file is not a valid Photoshop document.  Does anyone know of ANY WAY to recover my files that I can use them again!  HELP!!!  Thank you in advance if you can!

Where these PSD's stored on the C Drive and do you have system restore setup, if so you could try a system restore

Bit late now but you should always have a backup of your important files

I guess it is safe to assume that your OS Trash file does not hold the files and that you do not have the Mac Time Machine running. Although the result of the app you used was unsuccessful perhaps another recovery app may be more successful. This site may be useful:

One bit of advice: Act promptly. Adding and modifying files may overwrite what is now considered as usable disc space, further destroying the deleted files.
