"I have a file on my desktop which I can’t delete it by a drag-n-drop. And I tried the RM command to delete it, however, instead of point the file, it seems I pointed 2 others, which result in all 3 files deleted. Is there any way for how to undo RM command on macOS? or How to recover RM files in Mac? Please help me!" -George
