The Chromebook Trash folder can be accessed via the Files app to retrieve files you've recently deleted. You can access the Trash folder by opening the Launcher, selecting Files, and searching for Trash in the left sidebar. Once you find the files you have deleted, click the file and choose "Restore from trash." The file will appear in its original location. According to Google's Chromebook guidelines, files in the Trash folder get permanently deleted after 30 days; therefore, it is necessary to restore the files before this timeframe. If the file is not located in the Trash folder, search for the file in the Google Drive Trash folder and in case of backups. If the file is on an external drive, do not format the drive if there are any essential files missing. Notchox, data recovery is useful software that will allow scanning of supported drives using a PC running Windows or macOS.
