So my system hanged. I am using MacBook Air. When I restarted, it pops up to sign in my icloud again which hasn't happened before. All my files are deleted, my applications are still installed but my files in the finder are wiped. How can I retrieve or restore them. Please it is urgent.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
I already signed in my iCloud. I lost all my downloads and documents after the restart and it seems only the pictures from 9th April till date are showing in download but all the files before then are missing. Can’t find any in the trash.
You probably have set your account to use "Documents and Desktop in iCloud", and I guess that is where your files are.
Log in to your iCloud account if you haven't already.
Open a Finder window (Command-N), then click on iCloud Drive on the Sidebar. Do you see folders called "Documents" and "Desktop" there? Do they have the file you were looking for?
ALL FILES IN FINDER WIPED
