All your data, that you save on your Mac OS X hard drive is saved in the form of files. The type and format of the file depends upon the application that you are using to create particular file.

However, in some cases, you may mistakenly delete any important data from your hard drive and Trash Bin as well. This behavior leads to serious data loss situations and you need Mac undelete software to retrieve the deleted data if there is no backup in place.
