It was recommended for us to remove the project and re-start, but when I did this, all of my files were gone, and they’re not in the trash either (OSX).

In Android, the .Trash directory is not a standard directory used for storing deleted files. Instead, deleted files are typically moved to the system’s Trash or Recycle Bin, which is managed by the operating system.

To read the .trash
directory in an Android data recovery application, you would need:
-
Root access: Most of the time, accessing hidden directories like
.trash
requires root access to the device, as Android restricts access to certain system directories for security and privacy reasons. -
File permissions: Ensure the app has the appropriate permissions (
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
orMANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
for accessing storage on Android 10 and above). -
App-specific implementation: If the
.trash
folder is created by a specific app, you may need to interact with that app’s internal data structures or use the app’s APIs (if available).
Without root access or specific app APIs, directly reading the .trash
folder may not be feasible.
