"I accidently deleted a partition on my macbook pro. Is there are way to recover it with the deleted files? I really need the business reports. Thanks!"

You might noticed that there is only one partition for a newly bought Mac. To make it safer to store the files, you’re very likely to separate the local hard drive into different sections, namely partitions. However, like Windows OS, it is very easy for you to delete the partitions, either intentionally or unintentionally with the following reasons:

• The partition is almost full, you need to empty it for newly files.
• Some files in the partition are attacked by virus. To make your computer safe, you have to delete the virus affected files or format the whole partition.
• To delete a file, you drag the partition to the trash bin instead, deleted it accidently.
• There is an error caused the macOS corruption, and to fix it, you deleted some partitions.
